On a semilinear heat equation on infinite graphs II: Blow-up for arbitrary initial data and global existence

This paper is the second part of the study initiated in [1] and is devoted to finite-time blow-up and global existence for a semilinear heat equation on infinite weighted graphs. We first establish basic results on mild and classical solutions (which, to the best of our knowledge, were not previously available in the setting of graphs) proving their equivalence under suitable assumptions and showing the existence of a solution between a given sub- and supersolution. We then analyze blow-up and global existence on Z N , providing proofs based on methods different from those used on Z N in the existing literature. Moreover, for graphs with positive spectral gap, we prove global existence for small initial data. In contrast with previous functional analytic approaches yielding mild solutions, our method relies on the construction of global-in-time supersolutions and leads to the existence of classical solutions.
