Abstract

Consider the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear diffusion equation \begin{equation} \tag{P} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \partial_t u=\Delta u^m+u^\alpha & \quad\mbox{in}\quad{\bf R}^N\times(0,\infty),\\ u(x,0)=\lambda+\varphi(x)>0 & \quad\mbox{in}\quad{\bf R}^N, \end{array} \right. \end{equation} where m>0m>0, α(,1)\alpha\in(-\infty,1), λ>0\lambda>0 and φBC(RN)Lr(RN)\varphi\in BC({\bf R}^N)\,\cap\, L^r({\bf R}^N) with 1r<1\le r<\infty and infxRNφ(x)>λ\inf_{x\in{\bf R}^N}\varphi(x)>-\lambda. Then the positive solution to problem (P) behaves like a positive solution to ODE ζ=ζα\zeta'=\zeta^\alpha in (0,)(0,\infty) and it tends to ++\infty as tt\to\infty. In this paper we obtain the precise description of the large time behavior of the solution and reveal the relationship between the behavior of the solution and the diffusion effect the nonlinear diffusion equation has.
