System of porous medium equations

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We investigate the evolution of population density vector, , of k-species whose diffusion is controlled by its absolute value . More precisely we study the properties and asymptotic large time behaviour of solution of degenerate parabolic system �egin{equation*} left(u^i ight)_t=

ablacdotleft(left|�old{u} ight|^{m-1}

abla u^i ight) qquad mbox{for m>1 and i=1,cdots,k}. end{equation*} Under some regularity assumption, we prove that the function ui which describes the population density of i-th species with population Mi converges to in space with two different approaches where is the Barenblatt solution of the porous medium equation with L1-mass . indent As an application of the asymptotic behaviour, we establish a suitable harnack type inequality which makes the spatial average of ui under control by the value of ui at one point. We also find an 1-directional travelling wave type solutions and the properties of solutions which has travelling wave behaviour at infinity.
