A well-known result of Bramson states that, in the reference frame moving as 2t-(3/2 )log t+x∞, the solution of the equation converges as t → +∞ to a translate of the traveling wave corresponding to the minimal speed c_* = 2. The constant x∞ depends on the initial condition u(0, x). The proof is elaborate, and based on probabilistic arguments.The purpose of this paper is to provide a simple proof based on PDE arguments.展开更多
