In this paper, we show that the $L^1$ norm of the bounded weak solutions of the Cauchy problem for general degenerate parabolic equations of the formu_t + div f(x,t,u) = div(|u|^{\alpha}\nabla u),   x \in R^n , t > 0,where \alpha > 0 is constant, decrease, under fairly broad conditions in advection flow f. In addition, we derive the mass conservation property for positive (or negative) solutions.

As a key example, we study the asymptotic behaviour near finite focusing time t=T of radial solutions of the porous medium equation with absorption [Formula: see text] with bounded compactly supported initial data u(x,0)=u0(|x|), and exponents m>1 and p>pc, where pc=pc(m,N)∈(-m,0) is a critical exponent. We show that under certain assumptions, the behaviour of the solution as t→T- near the origin is described by self-similar Graveleau solutions of the porous medium equation ut=Δum. In the rescaled variables, we deal with an exponential non-autonomous perturbation of a quasilinear parabolic equation, which is shown to admit an approximate Lyapunov functional. The result is optimal, and in the critical case p=pc an extra ln (T-t) scaling of the Graveleau asymptotics is shown to occur. Other types of self-similar and non self-similar focusing patterns are discussed.
