Abstract

We study large time behaviour of solutions of the Cauchy problem for equations of the form $\partial_tu-L u+\lambda u=f(x,u)+g(x,u)\cdot\mu$, where $L$ is the operator associated with a regular lower bounded semi-Dirichlet form ${\mathcal{E}}$ and $\mu$ is a nonnegative bounded smooth measure with respect to the capacity determined by ${\mathcal{E}}$. We show that under the monotonicity and some integrability assumptions on $f,g$ as well as some assumptions on the form ${\mathcal{E}}$, $u(t,x)\rightarrow v(x)$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$ for quasi-every $x$, where $v$ is a solution of some elliptic equation associated with our parabolic equation. We also provide the rate convergence. Some examples illustrating the utility of our general results are given.
