We consider the dead-core problem for the semilinear heat equation with strong absorption and with positive boundary values in a ball. We investigate the dead-core rate, i.e. the rate at which the solution reaches its first zero. We first show, as in the one-dimensional case, that the dead-core rate is always faster than the self-similar rate. By using some special solutions and the braid group theory, we then derive the exact dead-core rates for a large class of initial data.
