Inhomogeneous parabolic equations with Hardy potential and memory on the Heisenberg group
Abstract
We study a class of inhomogeneous parabolic equations on the Heisenberg group with Hardy-type singular potentials, nonlocal memory terms, and a space-time forcing term: \begin{align} \partial_tu-\Delta_{H}u=\lambda \frac{\psi u}{\|\cdot\|^{2}_{H}}+\frac{1}{\Gamma(\gamma)}\int_0^t(t-\tau)^{\gamma-1}|u(\tau)|^{p}d\tau+t^\alpha f \text{ in } \,\mathbbm{H}^N\times (0,T). \end{align} Here, and where is the horizontal gradient associated to Also, and denote the Kor\'anyi norm and sub-Laplacian associated with the sub-Riemannian geometry of respectively. The combination of a singular Hardy potential and a memory kernel introduces significant analytical challenges. Using a Harnack-type inequality adapted to the Heisenberg group setting, we obtain quantitative positivity estimates that enable a detailed blow-up analysis. We identify parameter regimes depending on leading to finite-time blow-up or instantaneous blow-up, and establish local well-posedness in the absence of the Hardy potential. These results reveal an interplay between the spatial singularity, temporal nonlocality and a time-dependent forcing term. Finally, under a suitable lower bound on the forcing term we derive an explicit lifespan estimate for local-in-time solutions.
