Abstract: Fundamental global similarity solutions of the standard form u_g(x,t)=t^{-a_g} f_g(y), with the rescaled variable y= x/{t^{�_g}}, �_g= frac {1-n a_g}{10}, where a_g>0 are real nonlinear eigenvalues (g is a multiindex in R^N) of the tenth-order thin film equation (TFE-10) u_{t} =

D^4 u) in R^N imes R_+, n>0, are studied. The present paper continues the study began by the authors in the previous paper P. Alvarez-Caudevilla, J.D.Evans, and V.A. Galaktionov, The Cauchy problem for a tenth-order thin film equation I. Bifurcation of self-similar oscillatory fundamental solutions, Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics, No. 4, Vol. 10 (2013), 1759-1790. Thus, the following questions are also under scrutiny: (I) Further study of the limit n o 0, where the behaviour of finite interfaces and solutions as y o infinity are described. In particular, for N=1, the interfaces are shown to diverge as follows: |x_0(t)| sim 10 left( frac{1}{n}secleft( frac{4pi}{9} ight) ight)^{frac 9{10}} t^{frac 1{10}} o infty as n o 0^+. (II) For a fixed n in (0, frac 98), oscillatory structures of solutions near interfaces. (III) Again, for a fixed n in (0, frac 98), global structures of some nonlinear eigenfunctions {f_g}_{|g| ge 0} by a combination of numerical and analytical methods.
