Radial fast diffusion on the hyperbolic space

Publication date 30 September 2014

Abstract: We consider radial solutions to the fast diffusion equation

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

on the hyperbolic space

m a t h b b H^{N}

for

N g e 2

,

m i n (m_{s}, 1)

,

m_{s} = f r a c N - 2 N + 2

. By radial we mean solutions depending only on the geodesic distance

r

from a given point

o i n m a t h b b H^{N}

. We investigate their fine asymptotics near the extinction time

T

in terms of a separable solution of the form

m a t h c a l V (r, t) = (1 - t / T)^{1 / (1 - m)} V^{1 / m} (r)

, where

V

is the unique positive energy solution, radial w.r.t.

o

, to

- D e l t a V = c, V^{1 / m}

for a suitable

c > 0

, a semilinear elliptic problem thoroughly studied in cite{MS08}, cite{BGGV}. We show that

u

converges to

m a t h c a l V

in relative error, in the sense that

| u^{m} (c d o t, t) / {m a t h c a l V}^{m} (c d o t, t) - 1 |_{i} n f t y o 0

as

t o T^{-}

. In particular the solution is bounded above and below, near the extinction time

T

, by multiples of

(1 - t / T)^{1 / (1 - m)} e^{- (N - 1) r / m}

.
