Complicated Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions for the Cauchy Problem of Doubly Nonlinear Diffusion Equation

Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the large time behavior of nonnegative solutions to the doubly nonlinear diffusion equation $$u_t−{\rm div}(|∇u^m|^{p−2}∇u^m)=0$$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $p>1,$ $m>0$ and $m(p−1)−1>0.$ By using the finite propagation property and the $L^1-L^∞$ smoothing effect, we find that the complicated asymptotic behavior of the rescaled solutions $t^{\mu/2}u(t^{β_·},t)$ for $0<\mu<2N/(N[m(p−1)−1]+p)$ and $β>(2−\mu[m(p−1)−1])/(2p)$ can take place.
