Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a domain in $mathbb{R}^N$, where $Nge2$ and $partialOmega$ is not necessarily bounded. We consider two fast diffusion equations $partia{l}_{t}u=mboxdiv(|ablau{|}^{p-2}ablau)$ and $partia{l}_{t}u=Delta{u}^m$, where $1<p<2$ and $0<m<1$. Let $u=u(x,t)$ be the solution of either the initial-boundary value problem over $Omega$, where the initial value equals zero and the boundary value is a positive continuous function, or the Cauchy problem where the initial datum equals a nonnegative continuous function multiplied by the characteristic function of the set $mathbb{R}^{N}setminusOmega$. Choose an open ball $B$ in $Omega$ whose closure intersects $partialOmega$ only at one point, and let $alpha>frac(N+1)(2-p)2p$ or $alpha>frac(N+1)(1-m)4$. Then, we derive asymptotic estimates for the integral of $u^{a}lpha$ over $B$ for short times in terms of principal curvatures of $partialOmega$ at the point, which tells us about the interaction between fast diffusion and geometry of domain.

Review text

For equations such as the porous medium equation \[ u_t= \Delta(u^m) \] and the \(p\)-Laplacian equation \[ u_t = \mathrm{div}(|Du|^{p-2}Du), \] the evolution of solutions follows an intrinsic geometry. In this interesting paper, this phenomenon is analysed in a specific case. Let \(\Omega\) be a domain of \(R^N\) and let \(u\) be the solution of the singular porous medium equation or the \(p\)-Laplacian equation, either of a suitable non-homogeneous Cauchy-Dirichlet problem in \(\Omega \times R^+\) or of a suitable Cauchy problem in \(R^N\times R^+\). Lastly, let \(B\) be an open ball in \(\Omega\), whose closure intersects the boundary of \(\Omega\) in only a point and let \(\alpha\) be a suitable constant depending only on \(p\), \(m\) and \(N\). Then, the author derives asymptotic estimates for the integral of \(u^{\alpha}\) over \(B\) in terms of the principal curvatures of \(\partial \Omega\). This result gives us a deep perspective of the interaction between fast diffusion and the geometry of the domain.
