A Fatou theorem for the equation $u_t=\Delta (u-1)_+$ (Q4699533)

The article under review depends on the author's series [see \textit{D. Andreucci} and \textit{M. K. Korten}, Rev. Mat. Iberoam. 9, No. 2, 315-332 (1993; Zbl 0789.35186); \textit{M. K. Korten}, Nonlinear Anal. Theory Methods Appl. 27, No. 5, 589-603 (1996; Zbl 0861.35034)] which contain a priori regularity results of nonnegative solutions to the equation \[ u_t = \Delta(u-1)_+. \] The main result of the article addresses to the existence of pointwise limits of nonnegative solutions to the equation above when \((x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n\times (0,T)\) approaches the initial surface \(\{t=0\}\) and reads as: Let \(0\leq u\in L_{\text{loc}}^1(\mathbb{R}^n\times (0,T))\) be a solution in the sence of distributions of the equation. Let \(\mu\) be its initial trace and \(f=d\mu/dx\) the Radon-Nikodym derivative of \(\mu\) with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Then for almost every \(x_0\in \mathbb{R}^n\), \[ \lim_{(x,t)\in\Gamma_{\beta}^k(x_0), (x,t)\to x_0}(u(x,t)-1)_+ = (f(x_0) -1)_+, \] where \(\Gamma_{\beta}^k(x_0) = \{(x,t): |x-x_0|<\beta\sqrt t,\;0<t<k\}\).
