Abstract: | We show that the rate of convergence towards the self-similar solution of certain linearized versions of the fast diffusion
equation can be related to the number of moments of the initial datum that are equal to the moments of the self-similar solution
at a fixed time. As a consequence, we find an improved rate of convergence to self-similarity in terms of a Fourier based
distance between two solutions. The results are based on the asymptotic equivalence of a collisional kinetic model of Boltzmann
type with a linear Fokker-Planck equation with nonconstant coefficients, and make use of methods first applied to the reckoning
of the rate of convergence towards equilibrium for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for Maxwell molecules. |
