Sobolev-subcritical fast diffusion with vanishing boundary condition leads to
finite-time extinction, with a vanishing profile selected by the initial datum. In a joint
work with R. McCann and C. Seis, we quantify the rate of convergence to this profile for
general smooth bounded domains. In rescaled time variable, the solution either converges
exponentially fast or algebraically slow. In the first case, the nonlinear dynamics are
well-approximated by exponentially decaying eigenmodes, giving a higher order
asymptotics. We also improve on a result of Bonforte and Figalli, by providing a new and
simpler approach which is able to accommodate the presence of zero modes.
