Abstract

We study the large time behavior of solutions v:Ω×(0,)Rv:\Omega\times(0,\infty)\rightarrow \mathbb{R} of the PDE t(vp2v)=Δpv.\partial_t(|v|^{p-2}v)=\Delta_pv. We show that e(λp/(p1))tv(x,t)e^{\left(\lambda_p/(p-1)\right)t}v(x,t) converges to an extremal of a Poincar\'e inequality on Ω\Omega with optimal constant λp\lambda_p, as tt\rightarrow \infty. We also prove that the large time values of solutions approximate the extremals of a corresponding "dual" Poincar\'e inequality on Ω\Omega. Moreover, our theory allows us to deduce the large time asymptotics of related doubly nonlinear flows involving various boundary conditions and nonlocal operators.
