We set up a framework to study one-dimensional heat equations defined by fractal Laplacians associated with self-similar measures with overlaps. We show that for a class of such self-similar measures, a heat equation can be discretized and the finite element method can be applied to yield a system of linear differential equations. We show that the numerical solutions converge to the actual solution and obtain the rate of convergence. We also study some properties of the solutions of the heat equation.

Consider the following elliptic system: \begin{equation*} \left\{\aligned&-\ve^2\Delta u_1+\lambda_1u_1=\mu_1u_1^3+\alpha_1u_1^{p-1}+\beta u_2^2u_1\quad&\text{in }\Omega,\\ &-\ve^2\Delta u_2+\lambda_2u_2=\mu_2u_2^3+\alpha_2u_2^{p-1}+\beta u_1^2u_2\quad&\text{in }\Omega,\\ &u_1,u_2>0\quad\text{in }\Omega,\quad u_1=u_2=0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega,\endaligned\right. \end{equation*} where $\Omega\subset\bbr^4$ is a bounded domain, $\lambda_i,\mu_i,\alpha_i>0$ $(i=1,2)$ and $\beta\not=0$ are constants, $\ve>0$ is a small parameter and $2<p<2^*=4$. By using variational methods, we study the existence of ground state solutions to this system for sufficiently small $\ve>0$. The concentration behaviors of least-energy solutions as $\ve\to0^+$ are also studied. Furthermore, by combining elliptic estimates and local energy estimates, we obtain the locations of these spikes as $\ve\to0^+$.

where p > 1. 1 < p < 2 is called the fast p-Laplacian diffusion, while p > 2 is called the slow p-Laplacian diffusion. Especially, the p-Laplacian Keller-Segel model turns to the original model when p = 2.The Keller-Segel model was firstly presented in 1970 to describe the chemotaxis of cellular slime molds [13, 14]. The original model was considered in 2D,
