Abstract
This paper deals with the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear diffusion equation ∂u/∂t - Δ (u|u|m+1) = 0 on (0, ∞) x RN,u(0, .) = u0 when 0 < m < 1 (fast diffusion case). We prove that there exists a global time solution for any locally integrable function u0: hence, no growth condition at infinity for u0 is required. Moreover the solution is shown to be unique in that class. Behavior at infinity of the solution and L∞loc-regularizing effects are also examined when m Є (max{(N-2)/N, 0}, 1).
