On some properties of weak solutions to elliptic equations with divergence-free drifts

We discuss the local properties of weak solutions to the equation $-\Delta u + b\cdot\nabla u=0$. The corresponding theory is well-known in the case $b\in L_n$, where $n$ is the dimension of the space. Our main interest is focused on the case $b\in L_2$. In this case the structure assumption $\operatorname{div} b=0$ turns out to be crucial

Boundedness and homogeneous asymptotics for a fractional logistic Keller-Segel equations

In this paper we consider a $d$-dimensional ($d=1,2$) parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel equation with a logistic forcing and a fractional diffusion of order $\alpha \in (0,2)$. We prove uniform in time boundedness of its solution in the supercritical range $\alpha>d\left(1-c\right)$, where $c$ is an explicit constant depending on parameters of our problem. Furthermore, we establish sufficient conditions for $\|u(t)-u_\infty\|_{L^\infty}\rightarrow0$, where $u_\infty\equiv 1$ is the only nontrivial homogeneous solution. Finally, we provide a uniqueness result

Holder continuity for a drift-diffusion equation with pressure

We address the persistence of H\"older continuity for weak solutions of the linear drift-diffusion equation with nonlocal pressure u_t + b \cdot \grad u - \lap u = \grad p,\qquad \grad\cdot u =0 on $[0,\infty) \times \R^{n}$, with $n \geq 2$. The drift velocity $b$ is assumed to be at the critical regularity level, with respect to the natural scaling of the equations. The proof draws on Campanato's characterization of H\"older spaces, and uses a maximum-principle-type argument by which we control the growth in time of certain local averages of $u$. We provide an estimate that does not depend on any local smallness condition on the vector field $b$, but only on scale invariant quantities
