This work is concerned with the inverse problem of determining initial value of the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear diffusion process with an additional condition on free boundary. Considering the flow of water through a homogeneous isotropic rigid porous medium, we have such desire: for every given positive constants K and T 0 , to decide the initial value u 0 such that the solution u ( x , t ) satisfies sup x H u ( T 0 ) | x | K , where H u ( T 0 ) = { x N : u ( x , T 0 ) > 0 } . In this paper, we first establish a priori estimate u t C ( t ) u and a more precise Poincaré type inequality φ L 2 ( B ρ ) 2 ρ φ L 2 ( B ρ ) 2 , and then, we give a positive constant C 0 and assert the main results are true if only u 0 L 2 ( N ) C 0 .

Considering the flow of water through a homogeneous isotropic rigid porous medium, we have such desire: for every given positive constants $K$ and $T_{0}$, to decide the initial value $u_{0}$ such that the solution $u(x,t)$ satisfies $\sup _{x\in H_{u}(T_{0})}|x|\ge K$, where $H_{u}(T_{0})=\lbrace x\in \mathbb {R}^{N}\colon u(x,T_{0})>0\rbrace $. In this paper, we first establish a priori estimate $u_{t}\ge C(t)u$ and a more precise Poincaré type inequality $\Vert \phi \Vert ^{2}_{L^{2}(B_{\rho })}\le \rho \Vert \nabla \phi \Vert ^{2}_{L^{2}(B_{\rho })}$, and then, we give a positive constant $C_{0}$ and assert the main results are true if only $\Vert u_{0}\Vert _{L^{2}(\mathbb {R}^{N})}\ge C_{0}$.
