Robin-to-Neumann and Dirichlet convergence conjecture for the porous medium equation

Let T>0T>0, let mm be the porous-medium exponent, and let g:T[0,1]g:{\mathbb T}\to[0,1] be measurable. For each κ>0\kappa>0, let ρκ:[0,T]×T\{0}[0,1]\rho^\kappa:[0,T]\times{\mathbb T}\backslash\{0\}\to[0,1] be the unique weak solution of the porous medium equation with Robin boundary conditions and initial condition gg. Let ρ0\rho^0 be the unique weak solution with Neumann boundary conditions, and let ρ\rho^\infty be the unique weak solution with periodic boundary conditions, both with initial condition gg. Robin-to-Neumann and Dirichlet convergence conjecture. In L2([0,T]×T\{0})L^2([0,T]\times{\mathbb T}\backslash\{0\}), one has

limκ0ρκ=ρ0\lim_{\kappa\to0}\rho^\kappa=\rho^0

and

limκρκ=ρ.\lim_{\kappa\to\infty}\rho^\kappa=\rho^\infty.

The claim describes the limiting behavior of the Robin boundary condition as its parameter tends to zero or infinity, but the source gives no resolution or proof of this convergence statement.
