Abstract:
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of certain solutions of the nonlinear heat equation $u_t-\Laplacian u+|u|^α u=0$ in $(0,\infty ) à \hbox{\ens R}^N $, where $α >0$. We focus especially on solutions that may change sign and that do not necessarily have a radial behavior as $|x|\to \infty $.
