Abstract: This paper aims at proving asymptotic stability of the radial stationary solution of a free boundary problem modeling the growth of nonnecrotic tumors with fluid-like tissues. In a previous paper we considered the case where the nutrient concentration sigma satisfies the stationary diffusion equation Deltasigma=f(sigma), and proved that there exists a threshold value gamma>0 for the surface tension coefficient gamma, such that the radial stationary solution is asymptotically stable in case gamma>gamma*, while unstable in case gamma<gamma. In this paper we extend this result to the case where sigma satisfies the non-stationary diffusion equation epslnpartialtsigma=Deltasigmaf(sigma). We prove that for the same threshold value gamma as above, for every gamma>gamma* there is a corresponding constant epsln0(gamma)>0 such that for any 0<epsln<epsln0(gamma) the radial stationary solution is asymptotically stable with respect to small enough non-radial perturbations, while for 0<gamma<gamma and epsln sufficiently small it is unstable under non-radial perturbations.
