Abstract

We report on recent progress in the study of nonlinear diffusion equations in which the author has been involved. The main topic we discuss here is the use of entropy methods to obtain a precise description of the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of evolution problems posed in the whole space. A detailed account is given of the analysis of the fast diffusion flow for low values of the equation exponent, which entails a delicate entropy analysis via weighted linearization. Connections and extensions are mentioned.
