Gradient bounds and monotonicity of the energy for some nonlinear singular diffusion equations

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We construct viscosity solutions to the nonlinear evolution equation \eqref{p} below which generalizes the motion of level sets by mean curvature (the latter corresponds to the case p=1p = 1) using the regularization scheme as in \cite{ES1} and \cite{SZ}. The pointwise properties of such solutions, namely the comparison principles, convergence of solutions as p→1p\to 1, large-time behavior and unweighted energy monotonicity are studied. We also prove a notable monotonicity formula for the weighted energy, thus generalizing Struwe's famous monotonicity formula for the heat equation (p=2p =2).
