Let $u$ be a global in time solution of the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for a semilinear heat equation, $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \partial_t u=\Delta u+u^p,\quad & x\in\Omega,\,\, t>0,\\ u=0,\quad & x\in\partial\Omega,\,\,t>0,\\ u(x,0)=\phi(x)\ge 0,\quad & x\in\Omega, \end{array} \right. $$ where $\partial_t=\partial/\partial t$, $p>1+2/N$, $N\ge 3$, $\Omega$ is a smooth domain in ${\bf R}^N$, and $\phi\in L^\infty(\Omega)$. In this paper we give a sufficient condition for the solution $u$ to behave like $\|u(t)\|_{L^\infty({\bf R}^N)}=O(t^{-1/(p-1)})$ as $t\to\infty$, and give a classification of the large time behavior of the solution $u$.
