DESCRIPTION:We study nonnegative\, measure-valued solutions of
  the initial value problem for one-dimensional dri
 ft-diffusion equations where the linear drift has 
 a driving potential with a quadratic growth at inf
 inity\, and the nonlinear diffusion is governed by
  an increasing continuous and bounded function. Th
 e initial value problem is studied in corresponden
 ce to initial densities that belong to the space o
 f nonnegative Borel measures with finite mass and 
 finite quadratic momentum and it is the gradient f
 low of a suitable entropy functional with respect 
 to the Wasserstein distance. Due to the degeneracy
  of diffusion for large densities\, concentration 
 of masses can occur\, whose support is transported
  by the drift. We shall show that the large-time b
 ehavior of solutions depends on a critical mass wh
 ich can be explicitly characterized in terms of th
 e diffusion function and of the drift term. If the
  initial mass is less than the critical mass\, the
  entropy has a unique minimizer which is absolutel
 y continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.
  Conversely\, when the total mass of the solutions
  is greater than the critical one\, the steady sta
 te has a singular part in which the exceeding mass
  is accumulated.
