Improved intermediate asymptotics for the heat equation

Jean-Philippe Bartier, Adrien Blanchet, Jean Dolbeault, Miguel Escobedo

Published 2009-08-16Version 1

This letter is devoted to results on intermediate asymptotics for the heat equation. We study the convergence towards a stationary solution in self-similar variables. By assuming the equality of some moments of the initial data and of the stationary solution, we get improved convergence rates using entropy / entropy-production methods. We establish the equivalence of the exponential decay of the entropies with new, improved functional inequalities in restricted classes of functions. This letter is the counterpart in a linear framework of a recent work on fast diffusion equations, see [Bonforte-Dolbeault-Grillo-Vazquez]. Results extend to the case of a Fokker-Planck equation with a general confining potential.
