Asymptotics of solutions of nonlinear parabolic equations. (English) Zbl 1036.35064
The paper is concerned with the large time behaviour of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear parabolic equations $u_t = \Delta u + F(u, D_x u, D^2_x u), \qquad u \in \mathbb R^n,\;x \in \mathbb R^N, t > 0$ with initial data $u(0,x) = u_0(x), \qquad x \in \mathbb R^N,\;N \geq 1,$ $$F$$ being a sufficiently smooth vector-valued function. Under appriopriate assumptions the following results are obtained:
(1) the existence of a unique global smooth solution provided the initial data are sufficiently small in a suitably defined norm;
(2) the decay estimates for the solution $$u(t,x)$$ and for its derivatives, when $$t \geq \tau >0$$.
The detailed exposition of earlier results in the considered topic and the references are given.
