This paper is concerned with porous medium equation with periodic absorp- tion. We are interested inthe discussion ofasymptotic behaviour ofsolutions ofthe ?rst boundary value problem fortheequation. Incontrast totheequation without sources, we show that the solutions may not decay but may be “attracted” into any small neighbor- hood of the set of all nontrivial periodicsolutions, as time tends to in?nity. As a direct consequence, thenullperiodic solution is“unstable.” Wehave presented anaccurate con- dition onthesources forsolutions tohave such aproperty. Whereas inother cases ofthe sources, thesolutions might decay withpower speed, which implies thatthenullperiodic solution is“stable.” 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi?cation. 35K35, 35K57. 1. Introduction. This paper is concerned with the following nonlinear di?usion equation withperiodicabsorption ?u?t =?um+a(x,t)up in?×(0,+∞), u(x,t)=0 on??×(0,+∞), (1.1) (1.2) (1.3) u(x,0)=u (x) in?, 0 where m 1, ? is a bounded domain in RN with smooth boundary ??, a(x,t) is smooth,strictlypositiveandperiodicintimewithperiodω0,andu0(x)issmooth andnonnegative. Equationsoftheform(1.1)havebeensuggestedasmathematicalmodelsofseveral natural phenomena, suchasreaction-di?usion processes, population dynamics, etc., (cf. [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11] and the references therein). For the equation with a(x,t) independent of t, such an equation has been deeply investigated. In particular, if 1 ≤ p m, it has been shown in [3, 11, 12] that, for 1 ≤ p m, all solutions of theinitialboundary problem (1.1),(1.2),and(1.3)converge touniquepositivesteady statessolutions astimetendstoin?nity.
