We consider the one-dimensional and two-dimensional filtration-absorption equation ut = uΔu−(c−1)(∇u)2. The one-dimensional case was considered previously by Barenblatt et al. [4], where a special class of self-similar solutions was introduced. By the analogy with the 1D case we construct a family of axisymmetric solutions in 2D. We demonstrate numerically that the self-similar solutions obtained attract the solutions of non-self-similar Cauchy problems having the initial condition of compact support. The main analytical result we provide is the linear stability of the above self-similar solutions both in the 1D case and in the 2D case.
