Abstract

We will prove that if u is the solution of the equation u > 0, in BR × (0, T ), u(x, 0) = u0(x) on BR where BR = {x ∈ R n : |x| < R}, α > 0 for n = 1, and 0 < α < 4/R for n = 2, and  then there exists a constant λ > 0 such that the rescaled function  will converge uniformly on to as s → ∞ for n = 1. For n = 2, if u0 is radially symmetric, then v(x, s) will converge uniformly on  to for some constant λ > 0 as s → ∞.
