Abstract

Let 0u0(x)L1(R2)L(R2)0\le u_0(x)\in L^1(\R^2)\cap L^{\infty}(\R^2) be such that u0(x)=u0(x)u_0(x) =u_0(|x|) for all xr1|x|\ge r_1 and is monotone decreasing for all xr1|x|\ge r_1 for some constant r1>0r_1>0 and essinf\2Br1(0)u0esssupR2Br2(0)u0{ess}\inf_{\2{B}_{r_1}(0)}u_0\ge{ess} \sup_{\R^2\setminus B_{r_2}(0)}u_0 for some constant r2>r1r_2>r_1. Then under some mild decay conditions at infinity on the initial value u0u_0 we will extend the result of P. Daskalopoulos, M.A. del Pino and N. Sesum \cite{DP2}, \cite{DS}, and prove the collapsing behaviour of the maximal solution of the equation ut=Δloguu_t=\Delta\log u in R2×(0,T)\R^2\times (0,T), u(x,0)=u0(x)u(x,0)=u_0(x) in R2\R^2, near its extinction time T=R2u0dx/4πT=\int_{R^2}u_0dx/4\pi.
