Well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for convection-diffusion equations in uniformly local Lebesgue spaces. (Q2662476)

The paper deals with the Cauchy problem for the convection-diffusion equation \[\left\{\begin{array}{l}\partial_tu-\Delta u=a\cdot\nabla(|u|^{p-1}u),\quad t>0,\ x\in\mathbb{R}^n,\\ u(0,x)=u_0(x),\quad x\in\mathbb{R}^n,\end{array}\right.\tag{1}\] where \(a\in\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}\), \(n\ge 1\), \(p>1\), \(u:\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}\) is the unknown function, and \(u_0:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}\) is the initial condition. By using the weak comparison principle for \((1)\), the authors prove the well-posedness of problem \((1)\) in uniformly local Lebesgue spaces in two cases: the subcritical case (\(p>1\), \(r>n(p-1)\) and \(r\ge 1\)) and the critical case \((p\ge 1+\frac{1}{n}\), \(r=n(p-1)\)).
