Abstract

We consider a sequence of particular integro-differential equations, whose solutions converge as to the solution of a viscous porous medium equation. First, it is demonstrated that under suitable regularity conditions the functions are smooth uniformly in . Furthermore, an asymptotic expansion for as is provided, which precisely describes the convergence to . The results of this paper are needed in particular for the numerical simulation of a viscous porous medium equation by a particle method.
