Best matching Barenblatt profiles are delayed

چکیده
The growth of the second moments of the solutions of fast diffusion equations is asymptotically governed by the behavior of self-similar solutions. However, at next order, there is a correction term which amounts to a delay depending on the nonlinearity and on a distance of the initial data to the set of self-similar Barenblatt solutions. This distance can be measured in terms of a relative entropy to the best matching Barenblatt profile. This best matching Barenblatt function determines a scale. In new variables based on this scale, which are given by a self-similar change of variables if and only if the initial datum is one of the Barenblatt profiles, the typical scale is monotone and has a limit. Coming back to original variables, the best matching Barenblatt profile is delayed compared to the self-similar solution with same initial second moment as the initial datum. Such a delay is a new phenomenon, which has to be taken into account for instance when fitting experimental data. PACS numbers: Primary: 02.30.-f; 02.30.Jr; 02.30.Sa. Secondary: 02.30.Xx; 02.60.Cb

Fast diffusion equations: matching large time asymptotics by relative entropy methods
A non self-similar change of coordinates provides improved matching asymptotics of the solutions of the fast diffusion equation for large times, compared to already known results, in the range for which Barenblatt solutions have a finite second moment. The method is based on relative entropy estimates and a time-dependent change of variables which is determined by second moments, and not by the...
متن کاملNonlocal porous medium equation: Barenblatt profiles and other weak solutions
A degenerate nonlinear nonlocal evolution equation is considered; it can be understood as a porous medium equation whose pressure law is nonlinear and nonlocal. We show the existence of sign changing weak solutions to the corresponding Cauchy problem. Moreover, we construct explicit compactly supported selfsimilar solutions which generalize Barenblatt profiles — the well-known solutions of the ...
متن کاملAsymptotic behaviour of the porous media equation in domains with holes
We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the porous media equation in an exterior domain, Ω, which excludes one or several holes, with zero Dirichlet data on ∂Ω. We prove that, when the space dimension is three or more, this behaviour is given by a Barenblatt function away from the fixed boundary ∂Ω and near the free-boundary. On the other hand, if we scale the solution according to it...
متن کاملFine Asymptotics for Fast Diffusion Equations
We investigate the large–time asymptotics of fast diffusion equations, ut = ∆um, where 0 < m < 1. We calculate convergence to Barenblatt profiles with algebraic rates in the exponent interval (d − 2)/d < m < (d − 1)/d in dimensions d ≥ 2. We cover in this way the gap still existing in the literature concerning the rates of approach to a Barenblatt profile, which have been recently obtained for ...
متن کاملMatching of Polygon Objects by Optimizing Geometric Criteria
Despite the semantic criteria, geometric criteria have different performances on polygon feature matching in different vector datasets. By using these criteria for measuring the similarity of two polygons in all matchings, the same results would not have been obtained. To achieve the best matching results, the determination of optimal geometric criteria for each dataset is considered necessary....
