Abstract: We study the long-time asymptotics of solutions of the uniformly parabolic equation [ u_t + F(D^2u) = 0 quad {in} R^n imes R_+, ] for a positively homogeneous operator F, subject to the initial condition u(x,0)=g(x), under the assumption that g does not change sign and possesses sufficient decay at infinity. We prove the existence of a unique positive solution Phi+ and negative solution Phi, which satisfy the self-similarity relations [ Phi^pm (x,t) = lambda^{alpha^pm} Phi^pm (lambda^{1/2} x, lambda t). ] We prove that the rescaled limit of the solution of the Cauchy problem with nonnegative (nonpositive) initial data converges to Phi+ (Phi) locally uniformly in RnimesR+. The anomalous exponents alpha+ and alpha are identified as the principal half-eigenvalues of a certain elliptic operator associated to F in Rn.
