Radial Fast Diffusion on the Hyperbolic Space

We consider radial solutions to the fast diffusion equation $u_t=\Delta u^m$ on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{N}$ for $N \ge 2$, $m\in(m_s,1)$, $m_s=\frac{N-2}{N+2}$. By radial we mean solutions depending only on the geodesic distance $r$ from a given point $o \in \mathbb{H}^N$. We investigate their fine asymptotics near the extinction time $T$ in terms of a separable solution of the form ${\mathcal V}(r,t)=(1-t/T)^{1/(1-m)}V^{1/m}(r)$, where $V$ is the unique positive energy solution, radial w.r.t. $o$, to $-\Delta V=c\,V^{1/m}$ for a suitable $c>0$, a semilinear elliptic problem thoroughly studied in \cite{MS08}, \cite{BGGV}. We show that $u$ converges to ${\mathcal V}$ in relative error, in the sense that $\|{u^m(\cdot,t)}/{{\mathcal V}^m(\cdot,t)}-1\|_\infty\to0$ as $t\to T^-$. In particular the solution is bounded above and below, near the extinction time $T$, by multiples of $(1-t/T)^{1/(1-m)}e^{-(N-1)r/m}$.Comment: To appear in Proc. London Math. So

Fractional porous media equations: existence and uniqueness of weak solutions with measure data

We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of porous media equations driven by the fractional Laplacian when the initial data are positive finite Radon measures on the Euclidean space. For given solutions without a prescribed initial condition, the problem of existence and uniqueness of the initial trace is also addressed. By the same methods we can also treat weighted fractional porous media equations, with a weight that can be singular at the origin, and must have a sufficiently slow decay at infinity (power-like). In particular, we show that the Barenblatt-type solutions exist and are unique. Such a result has a crucial role in [24], where the asymptotic behavior of solutions is investigated. Our uniqueness result solves a problem left open, even in the non-weighted case, in [42]Comment: Further results on initial traces added. Some proofs shortene

Uniqueness of very weak solutions for a fractional filtration equation

We prove existence and uniqueness of distributional, bounded, nonnegative solutions to a fractional filtration equation in ${\mathbb R}^d$. With regards to uniqueness, it was shown even for more general equations in [19] that if two bounded solutions $u,w$ of (1.1) satisfy $u-w\in L^1({\mathbb R}^d\times(0,T))$, then $u=w$. We obtain here that this extra assumption can in fact be removed and establish uniqueness in the class of merely bounded solutions, provided they are nonnegative. Indeed, we show that a minimal solution exists and that any other solution must coincide with it. As a consequence, distributional solutions have locally-finite energy.Comment: Final version.

Improved time-decay for a class of scaling critical electromagnetic Schr\"odinger flows

We consider a Schr\"odinger hamiltonian $H(A,a)$ with scaling critical and time independent external electromagnetic potential, and assume that the angular operator $L$ associated to $H$ is positive definite. We prove the following: if $\|e^{-itH(A,a)}\|_{L^1\to L^\infty}\lesssim t^{-n/2}$, then $\||x|^{-g(n)}e^{-itH(A,a)}|x|^{-g(n)}\|_{L^1\to L^\infty}\lesssim t^{-n/2-g(n)}$, $g(n)$ being a positive number, explicitly depending on the ground level of $L$ and the space dimension $n$. We prove similar results also for the heat semi-group generated by $H(A,a)$
