We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form $u_t=u_{xx}+f\left(u\right)$ with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For special $f\left(u\right)$ of the Fisher-KPP type, the problem was investigated by Du and Lin [DL]. Here we consider much more general nonlinear terms. For any $f\left(u\right)$ which is $C^1$ and satisfies $f\left(0\right)=0$, we show that the omega limit set $\omega \left(u\right)$ of every bounded positive solution is determined by a stationary solution....
