Nontrivial invariant transformations for heat equations
It is well known that if $u$ is a harmonic function on $\mathbb R^2$ then its Kelvin transform defined by
$$ v(r,\theta) = u(\frac{1}{r},\theta)$$
is also harmonic for $r>0$. Note that the Kelvin ...

Explicit solution for a linear drift-diffusion equation (Fokker-Planck equation) on whole space
I'm wondering if there might be an explicit solution for the following linear PDE in two space dimensions $(x_1,x_2)$ on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^2$:
$$
\partial_t f = {div} \left [\left( \...

Connecting PDE notions for functions $[0,T] \to (\Omega \to \mathbb{R})$ to related notions for functions $[0,T] \times \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$
Fix $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$ a bounded domain (of whatever smoothness you end up needing, let's say $C^1$ domain for definiteness) and fix some $0 <T < \infty$. In considering evolution ...

Initial data and heat equation
We assume all solutions to be bounded here!
Let $y_{+},y_{-} \in C_c^{\infty}$ be two positive functions.
If we then consider the heat equation
$$\partial_t u(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x)$$ for two ...

Properties of heat equation
** I simplified the question: **
On bounded domains, the maximum principle implies that the solution to the heat equation is (strictly) positive, if the initial and boundary data is positive.
I ...

Mild solution of 2D surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation
I was reading one of Kato's papers on Navier-stokes equations. A mild solution can be denoted as $u= e^{t\Delta}u_0 + \int_{0}^{t} e^{(t-s)\Delta} \mathbb P\nabla \cdot(u \otimes u)ds$, where $\mathbb ...

Infinitesimal generator of a semigroup with parameter
When we talk about evolution equation the first idea that comes to the mind is the semigroups theory. This theory deals with Cauchy problems of the form $$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}} = Au,$$

Scaling properties of the Hölder estimate for heat equation
Lately, I have been interested in scaling properties of parabolic equations, and this question is related to an earlier one I asked about Harnack constants.
Let $Q(R) := Q(R^2,R) = B(0, R) \times [-R^...

Interpolation and embeddings for parabolic function spaces
I have a somewhat easy looking question on parabolic function spaces:
Let $B$ be a ball in $\mathbb R^n$ and let $T>0$. Denote $Q:=B \times [0,T]$. Assume $f \in L^2(Q) \cap L^\infty(0,T; L^q(B))$ ...
