Abstract

We study the porous medium equation with emphasis on q-Gaussian measures, which are generalizations of Gaussian measures by using power-law distribution. On the space of q-Gaussian measures, the porous medium equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation for covariance matrix. We introduce a set of inequalities among functionals which gauge the difference between pairs of probability measures and are useful in the analysis of the porous medium equation. We show that any q-Gaussian measure provides a nontrivial pair attaining equality in these inequalities.
