Title: Vanishing of solutions of diffusion equation with convection and absorption Authors: Alexander Gladkov (Vitebsk State Univ., Belarus) Sergey Prokhozhy (Vitebsk State Univ., Belarus) Abstract: We study the vanishing of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the equation $$ u_t = \sum_{i,j=1}^N a_{ij}(u^m)_{x_ix_j} + \sum_{i=1}^N b_i(u^n)_{x_i} - cu^p, \quad (x,t)\in S = \mathbb{R}^N\times(0,+\infty). $$ Obtained results depend on relations of parameters of the problem and growth of initial data at infinity.
