We study finite difference schemes for axisymmetric blow-up solutions of a nonlinear heat equation in higher spatial dimensions. The phenomenology of blow-up in higher-dimensional space is much more complex than that in one space dimension. To obtain a more complete picture for such phenomena from computational results, it is useful to know the technical details of the numerical schemes for higher spatial dimensions. Since first-order differentiation appears in the differential equation, we pay special attention to it. A sufficient condition for stability is derived. In addition to the convergence of the numerical blow-up time, certain blow-up behaviors, such as blow-up sets and blow-up in the Lp-norm, are taken into consideration. It is sometimes experienced that a certain property of solutions of a partial differential equation may be lost by a faithfully constructed convergent numerical scheme. The phenomenon of one-point blow-up is a typical example in the numerical analysis of blow-up problems. We prove that our scheme can preserve such a property. It is also remarkable that the Lp-norm (1 ≤ p < ∞) of the solution of the nonlinear heat equation may blow up simultaneously with the L∞-norm or remains bounded in [0, T ), where T denotes the blow-up time of the L∞-norm. We propose a systematic way to compute numerical evidence of the Lp-norm blow-up. The computational results are also analyzed. Moreover, we prove an abstract theorem which shows the relationship between the numerical Lp-norm blow-up and the exact Lp-norm blow-up. Numerical examples for higher-dimensional blow-up solutions are presented and discussed.
