Abstract

We study the large-time behavior of nonnegative solutions to a nonlocal dispersal equation in RN\mathbb R^N with an absorption term modeled by up-u^p, with 1<p<1+2N1<p<1+\frac2N. The initial datum u0u_0 is assumed to be bounded, and to satisfy x2p1u0(x)A0|x|^{\frac2{p-1}}u_0(x)\to A\ge0 as x|x|\to\infty. Under these assumptions, we prove that the decay rate is that of the purely absorbing problem, while the limit profile is a very singular solution to a local diffusion problem with absorption if A=0A=0, and a solution to this same local problem with initial datum Ax2p1A|x|^{-\frac2{p-1}} if A>0A>0.
