Abstract

We study the "stiff pressure limit" of a nonlinear drift-diffusion equation, where the density is constrained to stay below the maximal value one. The challenge lies in the presence of a drift and the consequent lack of monotonicity in time. In the limit a Hele-Shaw-type free boundary problem emerges, which describes the evolution of the congested zone where density equals one. We discuss pointwise convergence of the densities as well as the BV regularity of the limiting free boundary.
