Symmetry of Positive Solutions of Asymptotically Symmetric Parabolic Problems on $${{mathbb R}^N}$$

In this paper we investigate symmetry properties of positive solution of quasilinear parabolic problems in the whole space. As the main result, we prove that if the problem converges exponentially to a symmetric one, then the solution converges to the space of symmetric functions. We also show, that this result does not hold true, if the convergence is not exponential.
