Abstract: We study the self-similar solutions of the equation [ u_{t}-div(|

abla u| ^{p-2}

abla u)=0, ] in mathbbRN, when p>2. We make a complete study of the existence and possible uniqueness of solutions of the form [ u(x,t)=(pm t)^{-alpha/�eta}w((pm t)^{-1/�eta}| x|) ] of any sign, regular or singular at x=0. Among them we find solutions with an expanding compact support or a shrinking hole (for t>0), or a spreading compact support or a focussing hole (for t<0). When t<0, we show the existence of positive solutions oscillating around the particular solution U(x,t)=CN,p(|x|p/(−t))1/(p−2).
