Title: Behavior of the maximal solution of the Cauchy problem for some nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation as $|x|\to\infty$ Author: Tatiana Kavitova (Vitebsk State Univ., Belarus) Abstract: We prove a comparison principle for solutions of the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation $u_t=\Delta u_t+ \Delta\varphi(u) +h(t,u)$ with nonnegative bounded initial data. We show stabilization of a maximal solution to a maximal solution of the Cauchy problem for the corresponding ordinary differential equation $\vartheta'(t)=h(t,\vartheta)$ as $|x|\to\infty$ under certain conditions on an initial datum.
