We study the existence and long-time behavior of solutions to the following semilinear degenerate parabolic equation on $\mathbb{R}^N$: $$\frac{{\partial}u}{{\partial}t}-div({\sigma}(x){\nabla}u+{\lambda}u+f(u)=g(x)$$, under a new condition concerning a variable non-negative diffusivity ${\sigma}({\cdot})$. Some essential difficulty caused by the lack of compactness of Sobolev embeddings is overcome here by exploiting the tail-estimates method.

We study the existence and long-time behavior of weak solutions to a class of strongly degenerate semilinear parabolic equations with exponential nonlinearities on ℝ^N. To overcome some significant difficulty caused by the lack of compactness of the embeddings, the existence of a global attractor is proved by combining the tail estimates method and the asymptotic a priori estimate method.
