Let n≥3 and ψλ0 be the radially symmetric solution of Δlogψ+2βψ+βx⋅∇ψ=0 in Rn, ψ(0)=λ0, for some constants λ0>0, β>0. Suppose u0≥0 satisfies u0−ψλ0∈L1(Rn) and u0(x)≈β2(n−2)∣x∣2log∣x∣ as ∣x∣→∞. We prove that the rescaled solution u(x,t)=e2βtu(eβtx,t) of the maximal global solution u of the equation ut=Δlogu in Rn×(0,∞), u(x,0)=u0(x) in Rn, converges uniformly on every compact subset of Rn and in L1(Rn) to ψλ0 as t→∞. Moreover ∥u(⋅,t)−ψλ0∥L1(Rn)≤e−(n−2)βt∥u0−ψλ0∥L1(Rn) for all t≥0.
