Precise asymptotics below the critical exponent

Characterize the precise asymptotic behavior of the radial function v(r) for the parabolic k-Hessian equation with separable right-hand side f(|x|)g(t) when k>n/2 and 0<\alpha<(2k-n)/(kn).

Background

The paper constructs separable-variable radial entire solutions u(x,t)=w(t)v(|x|) to a class of parabolic k-Hessian equations with positive continuous right-hand side terms f(|x|) and g(t). Under periodicity assumptions and the supercritical condition \alpha>(2k-n)/(kn), Theorem 2 establishes refined asymptotic behavior for v(r), including its leading power-law exponent.

The authors explicitly state that, in the parameter range k>n/2 and 0<\alpha<(2k-n)/(kn), only rough bounds are available and the precise asymptotic behavior of v(r) is unresolved. Determining this behavior would extend the asymptotic analysis beyond the parameter regime treated by the paper.

References

When $k>n/2$, in the cases where $0<\alpha<(2k-n)/(kn)$, the precise asymptotic behavior of $v$ remains unclear, but one can obtain a rough bound estimate by L’Hospital’s rule.
