Asymptotic large time behavior of singular solutions of the fast diffusion equation

Abstract: We study the asymptotic large time behavior of singular solutions of the fast diffusion equation

u_{t} = D e l t a u^{m}

in

({m a t h b b R}^{n} s e t m i n u s 0) i m e s (0, i n f t y)

in the subcritical case

0 < m < f r a c n - 2 n

,

n g e 3

. Firstly, we prove the existence of singular solution

u

of the above equation that is trapped in between self-similar solutions of the form of

,

i = 1, 2

, with initial value

u_{0}

satisfying

A_{1} | x |^{- g a m m a} l e u_{0} l e A_{2} | x |^{- g a m m a}

for some constants

A_{2} > A_{1} > 0

and

f r a c 2 1 - m < g a m m a < f r a c n - 2 m

, where

,

and the self-similar profile

f_{i}

satisfies the elliptic equation

Delta f^m+alpha f+�eta xcdot abla f=0quad mbox{in

{m a t h b b R}^{n} s e t m i n u s 0

}

with

and

l i m_{| x | o i n f t y} | x |^{f r a c n - 2 m} f_{i} (x) = D_{A_{i}}

for some constants

D_{A_{i}} > 0

. When

f r a c 2 1 - m < g a m m a < n

, under an integrability condition on the initial value

u_{0}

of the singular solution

u

, we prove that the rescaled function

ilde u(y, au):= t^{,alpha} u(t^{,�eta} y,t),quad{ au:=log t},

converges to some self-similar profile

f

as

a u o i n f t y

.
