Abstract

For a smooth bounded domain ΩRn\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n, n3n\geq 3, we consider the fast diffusion equation with critical sobolev exponent wτ=Δwn2n+2\frac{\partial w}{\partial\tau} =\Delta w^{\frac{n-2}{n+2}} under Dirichlet boundary condition w(,τ)=0w(\cdot, \tau) = 0 on Ω\partial\Omega. Using the parabolic gluing method, we prove existence of an initial data w0w_0 such that the corresponding solution has extinction rate of the form w(,τ)L(Ω)=γ0(Tτ)n+24ln(Tτ)n+22(n2)(1+o(1))\|w(\cdot, \tau)\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)} = \gamma_0(T-\tau)^{\frac{n+2}{4}}\left|\ln(T-\tau)\right|^{\frac{n+2}{2(n-2)}}(1+o(1)) as tTt\to T^-, here T>0T > 0 is the finite extinction time of w(x,τ)w(x, \tau). This generalizes and provides rigorous proof of a result of Galaktionov and King \cite{galaktionov2001fast} for the radially symmetric case Ω=B1(0):={xRnx<1}Rn\Omega =B_1(0) : = \{x\in \mathbb{R}^n||x| < 1\}\subset\mathbb{R}^n.
