Asymptotic behavior for the critical nonhomogeneous porous medium equation in low dimensions

We deal with the large time behavior for a porous medium equation posed in nonhomogeneous media with singular critical density $$|x|^{-2}\partial_tu(x,t)=\Delta u^m(x,t), \quad (x,t)\in \real^N\times(0,\infty), \ m\geq1,$$ posed in dimensions $N=1$ and $N=2$, which are also interesting in applied models according to works by Kamin and Rosenau. We deal with the Cauchy problem with bounded and continuous initial data $u_0$. We show that in dimension $N=2$, the asymptotic profiles are self-similar solutions that vary depending on whether $u_0(0)=0$ or $u_0(0)=K\in(0,\infty)$. In dimension $N=1$, things are strikingly different, and we find new asymptotic profiles of an unusual mixture between self-similar and traveling wave forms. We thus complete the study performed in previous recent works for the bigger dimensions $N\geq3$.
