Convergence rate for the incompressible limit of nonlinear diffusion-advection equations

Analysis of PDEs 2021-08-03 v1

Abstract

The incompressible limit of nonlinear diffusion equations of porous medium type has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, due to its ability to link the weak formulation of cell-population models to free boundary problems of Hele-Shaw type. Although vast literature is available on this singular limit, little is known on the convergence rate of the solutions. In this work, we compute the convergence rate in a negative Sobolev norm and, upon interpolating with BV-uniform bounds, we deduce a convergence rate in appropriate Lebesgue spaces.
