The regularity of the boundary of a multidimensional aggregation patch

Publication date 11 November 2016

Abstract: Let

d g e q 2

and let

N (y)

be the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation in

R^{d}

We consider the aggregation equation

frac{partial ho}{partial t} + operatorname{div}( ho v) =0, v = - abla N * ho

with initial data

h o (x, 0) = c h i_{D_{0}}

, where

c h i_{D_{0}}

is the indicator function of a bounded domain

D_{0} s u b s e t R^{d} .

We now fix

0 < g a m m a < 1

and take

D_{0}

to be a bounded

C^{1 + g a m m a}

domain (a domain with smooth boundary of class

C^{1 + g a m m a}

). Then we have Theorem: If

D_{0}

is a

C^{1 + g a m m a}

domain, then the initial value problem above has a solution given by

ho(x,t) = frac{1}{1 -t} chi_{D_t}(x), quad x in R^d, quad 0 le t < 1

where

D_{t}

is a

C^{1 + g a m m a}

domain for all

0 l e q t < 1

.
