Abstract

Let n3n\ge 3 and ψλ0\psi_{\lambda_0} be the radially symmetric solution of Δlogψ+2βψ+βxψ=0\Delta\log\psi+2\beta\psi+\beta x\cdot\nabla\psi=0 in RnR^n, ψ(0)=λ0\psi(0)=\lambda_0, for some constants λ0>0\lambda_0>0, β>0\beta>0. Suppose u00u_0\ge 0 satisfies u0ψλ0L1(Rn)u_0-\psi_{\lambda_0}\in L^1(R^n) and u0(x)2(n2)βlogxx2u_0(x)\approx\frac{2(n-2)}{\beta}\frac{\log |x|}{|x|^2} as x|x|\to\infty. We prove that the rescaled solution u~(x,t)=e2βtu(eβtx,t)\widetilde{u}(x,t)=e^{2\beta t}u(e^{\beta t}x,t) of the maximal global solution uu of the equation ut=Δloguu_t=\Delta\log u in Rn×(0,)R^n\times (0,\infty), u(x,0)=u0(x)u(x,0)=u_0(x) in RnR^n, converges uniformly on every compact subset of RnR^n and in L1(Rn)L^1(R^n) to ψλ0\psi_{\lambda_0} as tt\to\infty. Moreover u~(,t)ψλ0L1(Rn)e(n2)βtu0ψλ0L1(Rn)\|\widetilde{u}(\cdot,t)-\psi_{\lambda_0}\|_{L^1(R^n)} \le e^{-(n-2)\beta t}\|u_0-\psi_{\lambda_0}\|_{L^1(R^n)} for all t0t\ge 0.
