We consider the nonlinear heat equation $u_t-\Delta u=f(u)$ with $u(0)=u_0$, with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^{d$. We assume that $f\colon[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ is continuous and non-decreasing. We give a characterisation (an “if and only if” result) of those $f$ for which the equation has a local solution bounded in $L}q(\Omega)$ for all initial data in $L^{q(\Omega)$ for all $q\in[1,\infty)$.}

Versions of our proofs are also valid for the case $\Omega=\Rd$.
