Abstract

We study the time-dependent moments $s_\alpha(t) = \int x^\alpha\cdot f(x,t)~\mathrm{d} x$ of the solution $f$ of the partial differential equation $\partial_t f = \nu\Delta f + g\cdot\nabla f + h\cdot f$ with initial Schwartz function data $f_0\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. At first we describe the dual action on the polynomials, i.e., the time-evolution of $f$ is completely moved to the polynomial side $s_\alpha(t) = \int p(x,t)\cdot f_0(x)~\mathrm{d} x$. We investigate the special case of the heat equation. We find that several non-negative polynomials which are not sums of squares become sums of squares under the heat equation in finite time. Finally, we solve the problem of moving atoms under the equation $\partial_t f = g\cdot\nabla f + h\cdot f$ with $f_0 = \mu_0$ being a finitely atomic measure. We find that in the time evolution $\mu_t = \sum_{i=1}^k c_i(t)\cdot \delta_{x_i(t)}$ the atom positions $x_i(t)$ are governed only by the transport term $g\cdot\nabla$ and that the time-dependent coefficients $c_i(t)$ have an analytic solution depending on $x_i(t)$.
