We consider non-negative solutions of the fast diffusion equation u(t) = Delta u(m) with m is an element of (0, 1) in the Euclidean space R-d, d >= 3, and study the asymptotic behavior of a natural class of solutions in the limit corresponding to t -> infinity for m >= m(c) = (d - 2)/d, or as t approaches the extinction time when m < m(c). For a class of initial data, we prove that the solution converges with a polynomial rate to a self-similar solution, for t large enough if m >= m(c), or close enough to the extinction time if m < m(c). Such results are new in the range m <= m(c) where previous approaches fail. In the range m(c) < m < 1, we improve on known results.

The one-phase fractional Stefan problem

Felix del Teso, Jorgen Endal, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: The study investigates the existence and properties of solutions and free boundaries of the one-phase Stefan problem with fractional diffusion posed in Double-struck capital R-N. We prove the existence of a continuous and bounded selfsimilar solution with a free boundary at the change-of-phase level. The study also provides well-posedness and basic properties of very weak solutions for general bounded data in several dimensions, and explores limits and connections with other diffusion problems.

Characterisation of homogeneous fractional Sobolev spaces

Lorenzo Brasco, David Gomez-Castro, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: The study aims to characterize the homogeneous fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki.i spaces D-s,D-p(R-n) and their embeddings, showing isomorphisms to suitable function spaces or space of equivalence classes of functions. The Morrey-Campanato inequality is presented as a main tool in the analysis.

Smoothing effects and infinite time blowup for reaction-diffusion equations: An approach via Sobolev and Poincare inequalities

Gabriele Grillo, Giulia Meglioli, Fabio Punzo

Summary: This study investigates reaction-diffusion equations in various geometric settings, proving global existence and boundedness of solutions in specific cases, as well as discovering instances where solutions exhibit blow up in infinite time. The methods rely on functional analysis and are applicable to diverse situations, with a focus on weighted reaction-diffusion equations in the Euclidean setting.

Global existence of solutions and smoothing effects for classes of reaction-diffusion equations on manifolds

Gabriele Grillo, Giulia Meglioli, Fabio Punzo

Summary: The discussion primarily revolves around the global existence of solutions to the porous medium equation with a power-like reaction term on Riemannian manifolds. Utilizing functional analytic methods, it is proven that under certain conditions, global solutions do exist.

FAST DIFFUSION ON NONCOMPACT MANIFOLDS: WELL-POSEDNESS THEORY AND CONNECTIONS WITH SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS

Gabriele Grillo, Matteo Muratori, Fabio Punzo

Summary: The study investigates the well-posedness of the fast diffusion equation on noncompact Riemannian manifolds and establishes uniqueness conditions for different types of initial data. The crucial role of curvature and stochastic completeness in determining the uniqueness of solutions is highlighted, along with the proof of nonexistence of nontrivial distributional subsolutions to certain semilinear elliptic equations.

Weighted Korn and Poincare-Korn Inequalities in the Euclidean Space and Associated Operators

Kleber Carrapatoso, Jean Dolbeault, Frederic Herau, Stephane Mischler, Clement Mouhot

Summary: We prove functional inequalities on vector fields u : R-d -> R-d when R-d is equipped with a bounded measure e(-phi) dx that satisfies a Poincare inequality, and study associated self-adjoint operators. The weighted Korn inequality compares the differential matrix Du, once projected orthogonally to certain finite-dimensional spaces, with its symmetric part D(s)u and, in an improved form of the inequality, an additional term del phi.u. We also consider Poincare-Korn inequalities for estimating a projection of u by D(s)u and zeroth-order versions of these inequalities obtained using the Witten-Laplace operator. The constants depend on geometric properties of the potential phi and the estimates are quantitative and constructive. These inequalities are motivated by kinetic theory and related with the Korn inequality (1906) in mechanics, which compares Du and D(s)u on a bounded domain.

Fractional Hypocoercivity

Emeric Bouin, Jean Dolbeault, Laurent Lafleche

Summary: This paper investigates the large time behavior of kinetic equations without confinement, focusing on collision operators with fat tailed local equilibria and their anomalous diffusion limit. The study develops an L-2-hypocoercivity approach at the kinetic level to establish a decay rate compatible with the fractional diffusion limit.

Infinite-time concentration in aggregation-diffusion equations with a given potential

Jose A. Carrillo, David Gomez-Castro, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: This paper studies radial solutions of an aggregation-diffusion model that combines nonlinear fast diffusion with a convection term driven by the gradient of a potential. Depending on the exponent of fast diffusion and the potential, the steady state is given by the sum of an explicit integrable function, plus a Dirac delta at the origin containing the rest of the mass of the initial datum, showing a splitting phenomenon.

Growing solutions of the fractional p-Laplacian equation in the Fast Diffusion range

Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: The study establishes the existence, uniqueness, and quantitative estimates for solutions to the fractional nonlinear diffusion equation, focusing on a certain range of exponents. By obtaining weighted global integral estimates, the existence of solutions for a class of large data is proved, and the dichotomy positivity versus extinction for nonnegative solutions at any given time is established. The analysis includes the conditions for extinction in finite time.

Singular solutions for fractional parabolic boundary value problems

Hardy Chan, David Gomez-Castro, Juan Luis Vazquez

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the parabolic problem with singular data, as well as the impact of initial data and forcing term. When the boundary data is zero, the results coincide with the standard fractional heat semigroup. Furthermore, we explore the spectral theory of the fractional heat semigroup and obtain bounds on the fractional heat kernel.

Blow-up versus global existence of solutions for reaction-diffusion equations on classes of Riemannian manifolds

Gabriele Grillo, Giulia Meglioli, Fabio Punzo

Summary: This study investigates the Fujita phenomenon for reaction-diffusion evolution equations on manifolds similar to hyperbolic space, showing that a different version of the phenomenon occurs with a different critical exponent. The results indicate that on a larger class of manifolds, solutions to equations with power nonlinearities are global in time for sufficiently small data.

PARABOLIC METHODS FOR ULTRASPHERICAL INTERPOLATION INEQUALITIES

Jean Dolbeault, An Zhang

Summary: The carre du champ method is a powerful technique for proving interpolation inequalities with explicit constants in presence of a non-trivial metric on a manifold. The method applies to some classical Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequalities on the sphere, with optimal constants. Very nonlinear regimes close to the critical Sobolev exponent can be covered using nonlinear parabolic flows of porous medium or fast diffusion type.

Anisotropic fast diffusion equations

Filomena Feo, Juan Luis Vazquez, Bruno Volzone

Summary: We prove the existence of self-similar fundamental solutions (SSF) of the anisotropic porous medium equation in the suitable fast diffusion range. Each of such SSF solutions is uniquely determined by its mass. We also obtain the asymptotic behaviour of all finite mass solutions in terms of the family of self-similar fundamental solutions.

Vortex formation for a non-local interaction model with Newtonian repulsion and superlinear mobility

J. A. Carrillo, D. Gomez-Castro, J. L. Vazquez

Summary: This paper discusses the density solutions for gradient flow equations of the form u(t) = del center dot (gamma(u) backward difference N(u)), and compares the results for linear mobility and concave mobility cases. It is found that solutions with compactly supported initial data remain compactly supported and generate moving free boundaries. For the linear mobility case, a special solution in the form of a disk vortex is present, while for the concave mobility case, viscosity solutions exist in the whole space and display a fat tail at infinity.
