Abstract

We study the large time behaviour of the reaction-diffsuion equation tu=Δu+f(u)\partial_t u=\Delta u +f(u) in spatial dimension NN, when the nonlinear term is bistable and the initial datum is compactly supported. We prove the existence of a Lipschitz function ss^\infty of the unit sphere, such that u(t,x)u(t,x) converges uniformly in RN\mathbb{R}^N, as tt goes to infinity, to Uc(xct+N1clnt+s(xx))U_{c_*}\bigg(|x|-c_*t + \frac{N-1}{c_*} \mathrm{ln}t + s^\infty\Big(\frac{x}{|x|}\Big)\bigg), where UcU_{c*} is the unique 1D travelling profile. This extends earlier results that identified the locations of the level sets of the solutions with ot+(t)o_{t\to+\infty}(t) precision, or identified precisely the level sets locations for almost radial initial data.
