Our primary goal is to understand the interplay between anomalous diffusion and nonlinearity in determining the long-time behavior of solutions. The analysis employs the renormalization group method to establish the self-similarity and to uncover universality in the way solutions decay to zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-11-14T19:32:34.000Z", "comment": "Includes referees' suggestions. 27 pages.
