Asymptotics for nonlinear heat equations Original Research Article

We study the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear heat equation View the MathML source{ut−Δu+u1+σ=0,x∈Rn,t>0,u(0,x)=u0(x),x∈Rn, Turn MathJax on in the sub critical case of View the MathML sourceσ∈(0,2n). In the present paper we intend to give a more precise estimate for the remainder term in the asymptotic representation known from paper Escobedo and Kavian (1987) [5] View the MathML sourceu(t,x)=t−1σw0(xt)+o(t−1σ) Turn MathJax on as t→∞t→∞ uniformly with respect to View the MathML sourcex∈Rn, where w0(ξ)w0(ξ) is a positive solution of equation View the MathML source−Δw−ξ2⋅∇w+w1+σ=1σw Turn MathJax on which decays rapidly at infinity: View the MathML sourcelim|ξ|→±∞|ξ|2σw0(ξ)=0.
