Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a domain in $mathbb{R}^N$, where $Nge2$ and $partialOmega$ is not necessarily bounded. We consider nonlinear diffusion equations of the form $partia{l}_{t}u=Deltaphi(u)$. Let $u=u(x,t)$ be the solution of either the initial-boundary value problem over $Omega$, where the initial value equals zero and the boundary value equals 1, or the Cauchy problem where the initial data is the characteristic function of the set $mathbb{R}^{N}setminusOmega$. We consider an open ball $B$ in $Omega$ whose closure intersects $partialOmega$ only at one point, and we derive asymptotic estimates for the content of substance in $B$ for short times in terms of geometry of $Omega$. Also, we obtain a characterization of the hyperplane involving a stationary level surface of $u$ by using the sliding method due to Berestycki, Caffarelli, and Nirenberg. These results tell us about interactions between nonlinear diffusion and geometry of domain.
