, a considerably large set of initial data u0 is found to enforce a complete mass aggregation in infinite time in the sense that for any such u0, an associated Neumann type initial-boundary value problem admits a global classical solution (u, v) satisfying $${1 \over C} \cdot {(t + 1)^{{1 \over \lambda }}} \le ||u( \cdot ,t)|{|_{{L^\infty }(\Omega )}} \le C \cdot {(t + 1)^{{1 \over \lambda }}}\,\,\,{\rm{for}}\,\,{\rm{all}}\,\,t > 0$$
