Abstract

We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the fast diffusion equation near extinction. For a class of initial data, the asymptotic behaviour is described by a singular Barenblatt profile. We complete previous results on rates of convergence to the singular Barenblatt profile by describing a new phenomenon concerning the difference between the rates in time and space.
