AbstractThe problem of finding critical initial data which separate conditions leading to blow-up from those which give solutions tending to the (stable) minimal solution is considered. New criteria for blow-up and global existence are found; these are equivalent to obtaining upper and lower bounds respectively for the set of critical initial data.
