A continuum of extinction rates for the fast diffusion equation

Publication date 19 December 2011

Abstract: We find a continuum of extinction rates for solutions

u (y, a u) g e 0

of the fast diffusion equation

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

in a subrange of exponents

m i n (0, 1)

. The equation is posed in

e n

for times up to the extinction time

T > 0

. The rates take the form

| u (c d o t, a u) |_{i} n f t y s i m (T - a u)^{h} e t a

for a whole interval of

h e t a > 0

. These extinction rates depend explicitly on the spatial decay rates of initial data.
