We study the asymptotic large time behavior of singular solutions of the fast diffusion equation
$u_t=Δ u^m$
in
$({\mathbb R}^n\setminus\{0\})×(0, ∞)$
in the subcritical case
$0<m<\frac{n-2}{n}$
,
$n≥3$
. Firstly, we prove the existence of the singular solution
$u$
of the above equation that is trapped in between self-similar solutions of the form of
$t^{-α} f_i(t^{-β}x)$
,
$i=1, 2$
, with the initial value
$u_0$
satisfying
$A_1|x|^{-γ}≤ u_0≤ A_2|x|^{-γ}$
for some constants
$A_2>A_1>0$
and
$\frac{2}{1-m}<γ<\frac{n-2}{m}$
, where
$β:=\frac{1}{2-γ(1-m)}$, $α:=\frac{2\beta-1}{1-m}, $
and the self-similar profile
$f_i$
satisfies the elliptic equation
$Δ f^m+α f+β x· \nabla f=0 \,\,\,\,\,\,\mbox{ in ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus\{0\}$}$
with $\lim_{|x|\to0}|x|^{\frac{ α}{ β}}f_i(x)=A_i$ and $\lim_{|x|\to∞}|x|^{\frac{n-2}{m}}{f_i}(x)= D_{A_i} $ for some constants $D_{A_i}>0$. When $\frac{2}{1-m} < γ < n$, under an integrability condition on the initial value $u_0$ of the singular solution $u$, we prove that the rescaled function
$\tilde u(y, τ):= t^{\, α} u(t^{\, β} y, t),\,\,\,\,\,\, { τ:=\log t}, $
converges to some self-similar profile $f$ as $τ\to∞$.
Keywords: Existence, large time behavior, fast diffusion equation, singular solution, self-similar solution.
