Fractional Burgers equation with singular initial condition

Abstract

We consider the fractional Burgers equation $ \Delta^{\alpha/2} u + b\cdot \nabla (u|u|^{(\alpha-1)/\beta})$ on ${\mathbf R}^d$, $d\geq2$, with {$\alpha \in (1,2)$ and} $\beta>1$ and prove the existence of a solution for a large class of initial conditions, which contains functions that do not belong to any $L^p({\mathbf R}^d)$, $1\leq p\leq\infty$. Next, we apply the general results to the initial condition $u_0(x)=M|x|^{-\beta}$, $1<\beta<d$, and show the existence of a selfsimilar solution and derive its properties such as smoothness, two-sided estimates, asymptotics and gradient estimates.
