文摘It is known that the one-dimensional nonlinear heat equation ut ： f（u）x1x1, f＇（u） 〉 0, u（±∞, t） ： u, u＋ ≠ u- has a unique self-similar solution u（x1/√1＋t）.

In the first part of the present paper, it is shown that under some smallness conditions, such a planar diffusion wave is nonlinearly stable for the nonlinear heat equation： ut -△f（u） = 0, x ∈ R^n. The optimal time decay rate is obtained. In the second part of this paper, it is further shown that this planar diffusion wave is still nonlinearly stable for the quasilinear wave equation with damping： utt ＋ ut - △f（u） = 0, x ∈ R^n.
