Sharp Sobolev estimates for concentration of solutions to an aggregation-diffusion equation

Analysis of PDEs 2020-09-28 v1

Abstract

We consider the drift-diffusion equation utϵΔu+(uKu)=0u_t-\epsilon\Delta u + \nabla \cdot(u\nabla K^*u)=0 in the whole space with global-in-time solutions bounded in all Sobolev spaces; for simplicity, we restrict ourselves to the model case K(x)=xK(x)=-|x|. We quantify the mass concentration phenomenon, a genuinely nonlinear effect, for radially symmetric solutions of this equation for small diffusivity ϵ\epsilon studied in our previous paper [3], obtaining optimal sharp upper and lower bounds for Sobolev norms.
