Regularity of solutions of the fractional porous medium flow

Analysis of PDEs 2012-01-31 v1

Abstract

We study a porous medium equation with nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. More precisely, ut=(u(Δ)su), 0<s<1. u_t=\nabla\cdot(u\nabla (-\Delta)^{-s}u), \quad \ 0<s<1. The problem is posed in {x\ren,t\re}\{x\in\ren, t\in \re\} with nonnegative initial data u(x,0)u(x,0) that are integrable and decay at infinity. A previous paper has established the existence of mass-preserving, nonnegative weak solutions satisfying energy estimates and finite propagation. Here we establish the boundedness and CαC^\alpha regularity of such weak solutions
