Is then Pφ(t) convex for every t > 0? (See Section 2 for the definition of α-concavity.) The porous medium equation provides a simple model in many physical situations, in particular, the flow of an isentropic gas through a porous medium; in such a case, u and um−1 represent the density and the pressure of the gas, respectively. Due to its practical interest, regularity and geometric properties of the free boundary ∂Pφ(t) have been extensively studied by many
