Fast diffusion equation: uniqueness of solutions with a moving singularity

Abstract

We focus on open questions regarding the uniqueness of distributional solutions of the fast diffusion equation (FDE) with a given source term. When the source is sufficiently smooth, the uniqueness follows from standard results. Assuming that the source term is a measure, the existence of different classes of solutions is known, but in many cases, their uniqueness is an open problem. In our work, we focus on the supercritical FDE and prove the uniqueness of distributional solutions with a Dirac source term that moves along a prescribed curve.
