Conservation of mass for solutions of Leibenson's equation on Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract
We consider on a Riemannian manifold M the Leibenson equation labeleqabs∂ tu=Δpuq, where p>1 and q>0. When q(p−1)≥ 1, we prove conservation of mass for solutions of Leibenson's equation assuming only the volume bound V(x0, r)≤ exp(C rp/(p−1)) for some x0∈ M and all large enough r>0. When q(p−1)< 1, we prove this property assuming V(x0, r)≤ CrN and p>N[1−q(p−1)], which matches the threshold in ℝn with N=n. We also show that solutions on the hyperbolic space ℍn have a finite extinction time in the case q(p−1)< 1, which implies that the conservation of mass property does not hold. Using the conservation of mass result in the case q(p−1)=1, we also prove a Lp−1- Liouville property, which partially answers a conjecture stated by I. Holopainen \cite{holopainen2000sharp}.

When q(p−1)≥ 1, we prove conservation of mass for solutions of Leibenson's equation assuming only the volume bound V(x_0, r)≤ exp(C r^p/(p−1)) for some x_0∈ M and all large enough r>0. When q(p−1)< 1, we prove this property assuming V(x_0, r)≤ Cr^N and p>N[1−q(p−1)], which matches the threshold in ℝ^n with N=n. We also show that solutions on the hyperbolic space ℍ^n have a finite extinction time in the case q(p−1)< 1, which implies that the conservation of mass property does not hold. Using the conservation of mass result in the case q(p−1)=1, we also prove a L^p−1- Liouville property, which partially answers a conjecture stated by I. Holopainen \cite{holopainen2000sharp}.
