Abstract

We prove the optimal global regularity of admissible solutions to a transformed very fast diffusion equation in the range $-1<p<0$, posed on smooth bounded domains with zero Dirichlet boundary data and initial data comparable to the distance function. More precisely, we establish existence and uniqueness and show that solutions belong to $C^{1,p+1}(\overline\Omega)$ in space for every positive time and are $C^\infty$ in time uniformly up to the boundary. Moreover, all their time derivatives belong to $C^{1,p+1}(\overline\Omega)$, and the exponent $p+1$ is optimal. These regularity estimates further yield fine long-time asymptotics toward the friendly giant solution, including a first-order expansion in the $C^{1,p+1}(\overline{\Omega})$ topology and an improved convergence rate for the relative error in $C^{p+1}(\overline\Omega)$.

Sharp regularity and small ball probabilities for the stochastic heat equation on bounded domains

We consider the stochastic heat equation $\partial_t u(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x) + \dot{W}_\alpha(t,x)$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain with zero Dirichlet boundary condition and zero initial condition, where $\dot{W}_\alpha$ is a Gaussian noise that is white in time and whose spatial covariance is the kernel of $(-\Delta)^{-...

Maximal Regularity and Existence for Superquadratic Parabolic Hamilton--Jacobi Equations: The Endpoint case

We establish interior maximal $L^{q_c}$-regularity for bounded strong solutions of $u_t-\Delta u+|Du|^\gamma=f$ in $\mathbb{T}^d\times(0,T)$, where $d\geq 2$, $\gamma>2$, and $q_c=(d+2)(\gamma-1)/\gamma$. The estimates are uniform for uniformly bounded families of solutions whose source terms range over a bounded, unif...

Gradient regularity and potential estimates for fractional drift--diffusion equations in the critical and subcritical ranges

We establish scale-invariant interior $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates for bounded viscosity solutions of $(-\Delta)^su+b\cdot\nabla u=f$ for $s\in[1/2,1)$ with locally H\"older $b$ and $f$. The critical case uses Silvestre's parabolic theorem; the subcritical case uses Schauder estimates and interpolation. Applying this visco...

Well-posedness for the mean curvature flow on the half-space and on bounded domains

We study graphical mean curvature flow in arbitrary codimension over the half-space and over smooth bounded domains, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. At the scaling-critical Lipschitz regularity, we prove local well-posedness for initial graphs that can be approximated in $W^{1,\infty}$ by smooth p...

The stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation in critical spaces

We study stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equations in bounded smooth domains with a double-well potential, transport-type noise, and natural Neumann boundary conditions in dimensions $d\le 4$. By employing stochastic maximal regularity techniques and deriving suitable energy estimates, we prove local and global well-posedness...

Local Well-Posedness of the Boundary Layer Equations for Dilatant Power-Law Fluids

We establish the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of monotone solutions to the two-dimensional nonstationary boundary-layer equations for a dilatant power-law fluid in a periodic half-space for $1<n<\frac{7}{3}$. Under Oleinik's monotonicity condition and suitable weighted Sobolev assumptions on the initial data...
