## Abstract This paper deals with the upper bound of the life span of classical solutions to β‘__u__ = β£__u__β£^p^, __u__β£~t = 0~ = Ξ΅Ο(x), __u__~t~β£~t=0~ = Ξ΅Ο(x) with the critical power of __p__ in two or three space dimensions. Zhou has proved that the rate of the upper bound of this life span is ex
