Singularity Formation in the Incompressible Porous Medium Equation without Boundary Mass
Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss recent work on the problem of singularity formation in the incompressible porous medium (IPM) equation. We construct Lipschitz continuous solutions of the IPM equation which vanish on the boundary of the domain and blow-up in finite time. At the blow-up point, the flow is hyperbolic with points approaching the boundary from the interior and escaping tangent to the boundary.
