For $L_\\infty-$initial data, we establish existence and uniqueness of a global weak solution for all $m>0$, and we show that this solution is strong for $m \\geq 1$. We further investigate a number of properties of the solutions, including comparison principle, $L_p-$contraction and conservation of mass. In particular, it is shown that mass is conserved for all $t\\geq 0$ and $m>0$. The method in this paper is quite general and thus is applicable to a variety of similar problems on manifolds with more general singularities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-20T03:03:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractional porous medium equation", "conical singularities", "well-posedness", "global weak solution", "general singularities" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
