Global well-posedness for dissipative IPM with data close to a class of special solutions

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the 2-D dissipative incompressible porous media (IPM) equation in both supercritical and subcritical cases. The dissipative IPM equation admits a class of special solutions of the form $\rho (x_1,x_2,t)=f(x_2,t)$, which decay in the mode of the 1-D fractional heat equation. Our main result is the global well-posedness for the dissipative IPM equation with initial data close to this class of special solutions provided that $f$ satisfies certain regularity assumptions.
