COMPLEXITY OF ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTIONS FOR THE POROUS MEDIUM EQUATION WITH ABSORPTION

In this paper we analyze the large time behavior of nonnegative solutions of the Cauchy problem of the porous medium equation with absorption u t-u m + γup = 0, where γ≥ 0, m > 1 and p > m + 2/N . We will show that if γ = 0 and 0 < μ < 2N/(N(m-1)+2), or γ > 0 and 1/(p-1)<μ<2N/(N(m-1)+2), then for any nonnegative function φ in a nonnegative countable subset F of the Schwartz space S (R N ), there exists an initial-value u0 ∈C(RN) with lim x →∞ u 0 (x) = 0 such that φ is an ω-limit point of the rescaled solutions t μ/2 u(t β·, t), where β =[2-μ(m-1)]/4 .
