Optimal regularity and fine asymptotics for very fast diffusion equations in bounded domains
Abstract
We prove the optimal global regularity of admissible solutions to a transformed very fast diffusion equation in the range −1<p<0, posed on smooth bounded domains with zero Dirichlet boundary data and initial data comparable to the distance function. More precisely, we establish existence and uniqueness and show that solutions belong to C1,p+1(Ω̅) in space for every positive time and are C∞ in time uniformly up to the boundary. Moreover, all their time derivatives belong to C1,p+1(Ω̅), and the exponent p+1 is optimal. These regularity estimates further yield fine long-time asymptotics toward the friendly giant solution, including a first-order expansion in the C1,p+1(Ω̅) topology and an improved convergence rate for the relative error in Cp+1(Ω̅).

AB - We prove the optimal global regularity of admissible solutions to a transformed very fast diffusion equation in the range −1<p<0, posed on smooth bounded domains with zero Dirichlet boundary data and initial data comparable to the distance function. More precisely, we establish existence and uniqueness and show that solutions belong to C^1,p+1(Ω̅) in space for every positive time and are C^∞ in time uniformly up to the boundary. Moreover, all their time derivatives belong to C^1,p+1(Ω̅), and the exponent p+1 is optimal. These regularity estimates further yield fine long-time asymptotics toward the friendly giant solution, including a first-order expansion in the C^1,p+1(Ω̅) topology and an improved convergence rate for the relative error in C^p+1(Ω̅).
