dc.descriptionIn this paper we study asymptotic behavior of solutions for a multidimensional free boundary problem modelling the growth of nonnecrotic tumors. We first establish a general result for differential equations in Banach spaces possessing a local Lie group action which maps a solution into new solutions. We prove that a center manifold exists under certain assumptions on the spectrum of the linearized operator without assuming that the space in which the equation is defined is of either $D_A(θ)$ or $D_A(θ,\infty)$ type. By using this general result and making delicate analysis of the spectrum of the linearization of the stationary free boundary problem, we prove that if the surface tension coefficient $γ$ is larger than a threshold value $γ^\ast$ then the unique stationary solution is asymptotically stable modulo translations, provided the constant $c$ representing the ratio between the nutrient diffusion time and the tumor-cell doubling time is sufficiently small, whereas if $γ< γ^\ast$ then this stationary solution is unstable.
