Abstract

Let n3n\ge 3, 0<m<n2n0<m<\frac{n-2}{n}, α=2β11m\alpha=\frac{2\beta-1}{1-m} and 21m<αβ<n2m\frac{2}{1-m}<\frac{\alpha}{\beta}<\frac{n-2}{m}. We give a new direct proof using fixed point method on the existence of singular radially symmetric forward self-similar solution of the form V(x,t)=tαf(tβx)V(x,t)=t^{-\alpha} f(t^{-\beta}x) xRn{0}\forall x\in\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}, t>0t>0, for the fast diffusion equation ut=Δ(um/m)u_t=\Delta (u^m/m) in (Rn{0})×(0,)(\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\})\times (0,\infty), where ff satisfies \begin{equation*} \Delta (f^m/m) + \alpha f + \beta x \cdot \nabla f =0 \quad \text{in} \; \mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\} \end{equation*} with limx0xαβf(x)=A\lim_{|x| \to 0} |x|^{ \frac{\alpha}{\beta}}f(x)=A and limxf(x)=DA\lim_{|x| \to \infty}f(x) = D_A for some constants A>0A>0, DA>0D_A > 0. We also obtain an asymptotic expansion of such singular radially symmetric solution ff near the origin. We will also prove the asymptotic large time behaviour of the singular solutions of the fast diffusion equation ut=Δ(um/m)u_t= \Delta (u^m/m) in (Rn{0})×(0,)(\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\})\times (0,\infty), u(x,0)=u0(x)u(x,0)=u_0(x) in Rn{0}\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}, satisfying the condition A1xγu0(x)A2xγA_1|x|^{-\gamma}\leq u_0(x)\leq A_2|x|^{-\gamma} in Rn{0}\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}, for some constants A2>A1>0A_2>A_1>0 and nγ<n2mn\le\gamma<\frac{n-2}{m}.
