Abstract

Let n3n\ge 3, 0<m<n2n0<m<\frac{n-2}{n}, ρ1>0\rho_1>0, βmρ1n2nm\beta\ge\frac{m\rho_1}{n-2-nm} and α=2β+ρ11m\alpha=\frac{2\beta+\rho_1}{1-m}. For any λ>0\lambda>0, we will prove the existence and uniqueness (for βρ1n2nm\beta\ge\frac{\rho_1}{n-2-nm}) of radially symmetric singular solution gλC(Rn{0})g_{\lambda}\in C^{\infty}(R^n\setminus\{0\}) of the elliptic equation Δvm+αv+βxv=0\Delta v^m+\alpha v+\beta x\cdot\nabla v=0, v>0v>0, in Rn{0}R^n\setminus\{0\}, satisfying limx0xα/βgλ(x)=λρ1(1m)β\displaystyle\lim_{|x|\to 0}|x|^{\alpha/\beta}g_{\lambda}(x)=\lambda^{-\frac{\rho_1}{(1-m)\beta}}. When β\beta is sufficiently large, we prove the higher order asymptotic behaviour of radially symmetric solutions of the above elliptic equation as x|x|\to\infty. We also obtain an inversion formula for the radially symmetric solution of the above equation. As a consequence we will prove the extinction behaviour of the solution uu of the fast diffusion equation ut=Δumu_t=\Delta u^m in Rn×(0,T)R^n\times (0,T) near the extinction time T>0T>0.
