Abstract

We study the self-similar solutions of the equation

in ℝN, when p > 2. We make a complete study of the existence and possible uniqueness of solutions of the form

of any sign, regular or singular at x = 0. Among them we find solutions with an expanding compact support or a shrinking hole (for t > 0), or a spreading compact support or a focusing hole (for t < 0). When t < 0, we show the existence of positive solutions oscillating around the particular solution .
