Asymptotic large time behavior of singular solutions of the fast diffusion equation
read the original abstract
We study the asymptotic large time behavior of singular solutions of the fast diffusion equation $u_t=\Delta u^m$ in $({\mathbb R}^n\setminus\{0\})\times(0,\infty)$ in the subcritical case $0<m<\frac{n-2}{n}$, $n\ge3$. Firstly, we prove the existence of singular solution $u$ of the above equation that is trapped in between self-similar solutions of the form of $t^{-\alpha} f_i(t^{-\beta}x)$, $i=1,2$, with initial value $u_0$ satisfying $A_1|x|^{-\gamma}\le u_0\le A_2|x|^{-\gamma}$ for some constants $A_2>A_1>0$ and $\frac{2}{1-m}<\gamma<\frac{n-2}{m}$, where $\beta:=\frac{1}{2-\gamma(1-m)}$, $\alpha:=\frac{2\beta-1}{1-m},$ and the self-similar profile $f_i$ satisfies the elliptic equation $$ \Delta f^m+\alpha f+\beta x\cdot \nabla f=0\quad \mbox{in ${\mathbb R}^n\setminus\{0\}$} $$ with $\lim_{|x|\to0}|x|^{\frac{ \alpha}{ \beta}}f_i(x)=A_i$ and $\lim_{|x|\to\infty}|x|^{\frac{n-2}{m}}{f_i}(x)= D_{A_i} $ for some constants $D_{A_i}>0$. When $\frac{2}{1-m}<\gamma<n$, under an integrability condition on the initial value $u_0$ of the singular solution $u$, we prove that the rescaled function $$ \tilde u(y,\tau):= t^{\,\alpha} u(t^{\,\beta} y,t),\quad{ \tau:=\log t}, $$ converges to some self-similar profile $f$ as $\tau\to\infty$.
