Piecewise constant subsolutions for the Muskat problem

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We show the existence of infinitely many admissible weak solutions for the incompressible porous media equations for all Muskat-type initial data with C3,alpha-regularity of the interface in the unstable regime and for all non-horizontal data with C3,alpha-regularity in the stable regime. Our approach involves constructing admissible subsolutions with piecewise constant densities. This allows us to give a rather short proof where it suffices to calculate the velocity and acceleration at time zero - thus emphasizing the instantaneous nature of non-uniqueness due to discontinuities in the initial data.
