On long-time asymptotics of solutions of parabolic equations with increasing leading coefficients

Resumo

Sharp sufficient conditions on the coefficients of a second-order parabolic equation are examined under which the solution of the corresponding Cauchy problem with a power-law growing initial function stabilizes to zero. An example is presented showing that the found sufficient conditions are sharp. Conditions on the coefficients of a parabolic equation are obtained under which the solution of the Cauchy problem with a bounded initial function stabilizes to zero at a power law rate.
