• Porous media equation
• asymptotic profile
• non-compact domain
• fundamental solution

We consider the initial value boundary problem with zero Neumann data for an equation modeled after the porous media equation, with variable coefficients. The spatial domain is unbounded and shaped like a (general) paraboloid, and the solution u is integrable in space and nonnegative. We show that the asymptotic profile for large times of u is one dimensional and given by an explicit function, which can be regarded as the fundamental solution of a one-dimensional differential equation with weights. In the case when the domain is a cone or the whole space (Cauchy problem), we obtain a genuine multidimensional profile given by the well-known Barenblatt solution.
