\section{Introduction}

We  consider the porous medium type equation
\begin{equation}\label{e1.1}
\partial_t u=\nabla\cdot(u\nabla p),\quad
 p=(-\Delta)^{-s}u,\quad  0<s<1, \quad u(x,0) \geq 0,
\end{equation}
where $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, and $t>0$ and the fractional 
Laplacian $(-\triangle)^{s/2}: =\Lambda^{s}$ is given by the
psuedo differential operator with symbol  $|\xi|^{s}$, that is:
$$
(-\triangle)^{s/2}f=\Lambda^sf=\mathcal{F}^{-1}|\xi|^s\mathcal{F}f.
$$
Using the Riesz potential, one can also define this operator as
$$
(-\triangle)^{s/2}f(x)=\Lambda^sf(x)
=c_{n,s}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{|y|^{n+s}}{\rm d}y.
$$

This model is based on Darcy's law with pressure, $p$,  is given by an 
inverse fractional Laplacian operator. It was first introduced by
 Caffarelli and V\'azquez \cite{caffarelli02}, in which they proved 
the existence of a weak solution when $u_0$ is a bounded function with 
exponential decay at infinity. For $\alpha=\frac{n}{n+2-2s}$, 
Caffarelli, Soria and V\'azquez \cite{caffarelli01} proved that the
 bounded nonnegative solutions are $C^\alpha$ continuous in a strip of 
space-time for $s\neq1/2$. And same conclusion for the index $s=1/2$ 
was proved by Caffarelli and V\'azquez in \cite{caffarelli03}.
\cite{carrillo01,caffarelli04,vazquez01} give a detailed description of 
the large-time asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of \eqref{e1.1}.
\cite{biler01, stan01} consider degenerate cases and show the existence and 
properties of self-similar solutions.
Allen, Caffarelli and Vasseur \cite{allen01} study the equation with fractional
time derivative, and proved the H\"older continuity for its weak solutions.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of 
\eqref{e1.1} in Sobolev spaces.  Unlike
considering the existence of  weak solution in $L^{\infty}$ or constructing 
approximate solutions of linear transport systems, we solve equation \eqref{e1.1}
by constructing solutions to a linear degenerate diffusion transport systems. 
The well-posedness and properties of the  linear degenerate diffusion 
transport are interesting results by themselves and lead us to proving that 
for  $s\in [\frac12,1)$, $\alpha>\frac d2+1$, $u_0\in H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$ 
nonnegative,  and some $T_0>0$, the equation \eqref{e1.1} in $\mathbb{R}^n\times[0,T_0]$ has
a unique solutions. Besides, using the methods and results in this paper, 
we correct a mistake in our previous paper \cite{zhou01}.

\section{Preliminaries}

Define $\rho \in C_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)$ by
\begin{equation*}
\rho(x)=
\begin{cases}
c_0\exp(-\frac 1{1-|x|^2}), |x|<1,\\
0, |x|\geq 1,
\end{cases}
\end{equation*}
where $c_0$ is selected such that $\int \rho(x)dx=1$.
Let
$J_\epsilon$ be defined by
\begin{equation*}
J_\epsilon u=\rho_\epsilon*u=\epsilon^{-n}\rho(\frac\cdot\epsilon)*u.
\end{equation*}
This operator satisfies the following properties.

\begin{proposition} \label{prop2.1}
\begin{itemize}
\item[(1)] $\Lambda^s J_\epsilon u= J_\epsilon \Lambda^s u$, $s\in \mathbb{R}$.
\item[(2)] For all $u\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $v\in H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$, 
with $\frac 1p+\frac 1q=1$,
$\int (J_\epsilon f)g=\int f(J_\epsilon g)$.
\item[(3)] For all $u\in H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$,
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{\epsilon\rightarrow 0}\|J_\epsilon u-u\|_{H^\alpha}=0,\quad
 \lim_{\epsilon\rightarrow 0}\|J_\epsilon u-u\|_{H^{\alpha-1}}\leq C\|u\|_{H^\alpha}.
\end{equation*}
\item[(4)] For all $u\in H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $s\in \mathbb{R}$, 
$k\in \mathbb{Z}\cup\{0\}$, then
\begin{equation*}
\|J_\epsilon u\|_{H^{\alpha+k}}
 \leq \frac {C_{\alpha k}}{\epsilon^k}\|u\|_{H^\alpha},\ \
\|J_\epsilon D^ku\|_{L^\infty}
 \leq \frac {C_{k}}{\epsilon^{\frac n2+k}}\|u\|_{H^\alpha}
\end{equation*}
\end{itemize}
\end{proposition}

The following propositions can be found in \cite{cordoba01,ju01}.

\begin{proposition} \label{prop2.2}
Suppose that $s>0$ and $1<p<\infty$. If $f,g\in \mathcal {S}$, the 
Schwartz class, then we have
\begin{gather*}
\|\Lambda^s(fg)-f\Lambda^s g\|_{L^p}\leq c\|\nabla f\|_{L^{p_1}}
\|g\|_{\dot{H}^{s-1,p_2}}+c\|g\|_{L^{p_4}}\|f\|_{\dot{H}^{s,p_3}}, \\
\|\Lambda^s(fg)\|_{L^p}\leq c\|f\|_{L^{p_1}}\|g\|_{\dot{H}^{s,p_2}}
+c\|g\|_{L^{p_4}}\|f\|_{\dot{H}^{s,p_3}}
\end{gather*}
with $p_2,p_3\in(1,+\infty)$ such that 
$\frac 1p=\frac 1{p_1}+\frac 1{p_2}=\frac 1{p_3}+\frac 1{p_4}$.
\end{proposition}

\begin{proposition} \label{prop2.3}
If $0\leq s\leq 2$, $f\in \mathcal {S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, then
\begin{equation*}
2f(x)\Lambda^s f(x)\geq \Lambda^s f^2(x) \quad
\text{for all }  x \in \mathbb{R}^n.
\end{equation*}
\end{proposition}

\begin{proposition} \label{prop2.4}
Let $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ be two real numbers such that 
$\alpha_1<\frac n2$, $\alpha_2<\frac n2$ and $\alpha_1+\alpha_2>0$. 
Then there exists a constant $C=C_{\alpha_1,\alpha_2}\geq 0$ such that
 for all $f\in \dot{H}^{\alpha_1}$ and $g\in \dot{H}^{\alpha_2}$,
\begin{equation*}
\|fg\|_{\dot{H}^{\alpha}}\leq C\|f\|_{\dot{H}^{\alpha_1}}
\|g\|_{\dot{H}^{\alpha_2}},
\end{equation*}
where $\alpha=\alpha_1+\alpha_2-\frac n2$.
\end{proposition}

\section{Main results}

\begin{theorem} \label{thm3.1}
If $s\in [1/2,1]$, $T>0$, $\alpha>\frac n2+1$, 
$u_{0}\in H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $v\geq 0$ and
$v\in C([0,T];H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n))$,
then the linear initial-value problem
\begin{equation}
\begin{gathered}
\partial_t{u}=\nabla u\cdot \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v-v(-\Delta)^{1-s}u,\\
u(x,0)=u_{0}.
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
has a unique solution $u\in C^1([0,T];H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n))$.
If the initial data $u_0\geq 0$, then   $u\geq0, (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n\times[0,T]$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
For any $\epsilon>0$, we consider the  linear problem
\begin{equation} \label{e3.2}
\begin{gathered}
\partial_t{u^\epsilon}=F_\epsilon(u^\epsilon)
=J_\epsilon(\nabla J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\cdot \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s} v)-J_\epsilon (v(-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon u^\epsilon),\\
u^\epsilon(x,0)=u_{0}.
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
By Propositions \ref{prop2.1} and \ref{prop2.2} and by $s\geq \frac 12$
 we can estimate
\begin{align*}
&\|F_\epsilon(u_1^\epsilon)-F_\epsilon(u_2^\epsilon)\|_{H^\alpha}\\
&=\|J_\epsilon(\nabla J_\epsilon (u_1^\epsilon-u_2^\epsilon)
 \cdot \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s} v)-J_\epsilon (v(-\Delta)^{1-s}
 J_\epsilon (u_1^\epsilon-u_2^\epsilon)\|_{H^\alpha}\\
&\leq C(\epsilon,\|v\|_{H^\alpha})\|u_1^\epsilon-u_2^\epsilon\|_{H^\alpha}.
\end{align*}
Using Picard iterations, for any $\alpha>\frac n2+1, \epsilon>0$, 
there exists a $T_\epsilon=T_\epsilon(u_*)>0$, problem \eqref{e3.2}
 has a unique solution $u^\epsilon\in C^1([0,T_\epsilon);H^\alpha)$. 
By Propositions \ref{prop2.1} and \ref{prop2.3},
\begin{align*}
\frac 12 \frac {d}{dt}\|u^\epsilon\|^2_{L^2}
&=\int \nabla J_\epsilon u^\epsilon \cdot\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}vJ_\epsilon u^\epsilon-
\int v(-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon u^\epsilon J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\\
&\leq \frac 12\int\nabla |J_\epsilon u^\epsilon|^2\cdot\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v
 -\frac 12\int v(-\Delta)^{1-s}|J_\epsilon u^\epsilon|^2\\
&\leq  \frac 12\int|J_\epsilon u^\epsilon|^2(-\Delta)^{1-s}v
 -\frac 12\int|J_\epsilon u^\epsilon|^2(-\Delta)^{1-s}v=0.
\end{align*}
Moreover, for any $\alpha>0$,
\begin{align*}
&\frac 12 \frac {d}{dt}\|\Lambda^\alpha u^\epsilon\|^2_{L^2}\\
&=\int \Lambda^\alpha(\nabla J_\epsilon u^\epsilon 
 \cdot\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v)J_\epsilon\Lambda^\alpha u^\epsilon-
\int \Lambda^\alpha(v(-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon u^\epsilon) 
 \Lambda^\alpha J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\\
&\leq C\|[\Lambda^\alpha,\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v]
 \nabla J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\|_{L^2}\|\Lambda^\alpha u^\epsilon\|_{L^2}
+\int\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v\Lambda^\alpha \nabla J_\epsilon 
 u^\epsilon\Lambda^\alpha J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\\
&+ C\|[\Lambda^\alpha,v](-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon
  u^\epsilon\|_{L^2}\|\Lambda^\alpha u^\epsilon\|_{L^2}
 -\int v\Lambda^\alpha (-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon u^\epsilon 
 \Lambda^\alpha J_\epsilon u^\epsilon.
\end{align*}
By Proposition \ref{prop2.2} and Sobolev embeddings,
\begin{align*}
&\|[\Lambda^\alpha,\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v]\nabla 
 J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\|_{L^2}\\
&\leq C\|(-\Delta)^{1-s}v\|_{L^\infty}\|\Lambda^{\alpha-1} \nabla 
 J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\|_{L^2} 
 + \|\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v\|_{\dot{H}^\alpha}\|\nabla J_\epsilon 
 u^\epsilon\|_{L^\infty}\\
&\leq C\|v\|_{H^\alpha}\|u^\epsilon\|_{H^\alpha},
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
&\|[\Lambda^\alpha,v](-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\|_{L^2}\\
&\leq C\|\nabla v\|_{L^\infty}\|(-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon 
 u^\epsilon\|_{\dot{H}^{\alpha-1}}
 +\|v\|_{\dot{H}^\alpha}\|(-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\|_{L^\infty}\\
&\leq C\|v\|_{H^\alpha}\|u^\epsilon\|_{H^\alpha}.
\end{align*}
By Proposition \ref{prop2.3},
\begin{align*}
&\int\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v\Lambda^\alpha \nabla J_\epsilon 
 u^\epsilon\Lambda^\alpha J_\epsilon u^\epsilon-\int v\Lambda^\alpha
 (-\Delta)^{1-s}J_\epsilon u^\epsilon \Lambda^\alpha J_\epsilon u^\epsilon\\
& \leq\frac12\int \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v\nabla(\Lambda^\alpha 
 J_\epsilon u^\epsilon)^2-\frac12\int v(-\Delta)^{1-s}
 (\Lambda^\alpha J_\epsilon u^\epsilon)^2\\
&\leq C\|v\|_{H^\alpha}\|u^\epsilon\|^2_{H^\alpha}.
\end{align*}
Combining the above estimates,
\begin{equation*}
\frac d {dt}\|u^\epsilon(\cdot,t)\|_{H^{\alpha}}
\leq C\|v\|_{H^\alpha}\|u^\epsilon\|_{H^\alpha}.
\end{equation*}
By Gronwall's inequality,
\begin{equation*}
\|u^\epsilon(\cdot,t)\|_{H^\alpha}
\leq \|u_0\|_{H^\alpha}\exp(C\sup_{0\leq t\leq T}\|v\|_{H^\alpha}).
\end{equation*}
Such the solution $u^\epsilon$ exists on $[0,T]$.
Similarly,
\begin{equation*}
\frac d {dt}\|u^\epsilon(\cdot,t)\|_{H^{\alpha-1}}
\leq C\|v\|_{H^\alpha}\|u^\epsilon\|_{H^\alpha}
\leq C(\|v\|_{H^\alpha}, \|u_0\|_{H^\alpha}, T).
\end{equation*}
By Aubin compactness theorem \cite{simon}, there is a subsequence of 
$\{u^{\frac 1n}\}_{n\geq1}$ that convergence strongly to $u$ in 
$C([0,T];H^\alpha)$. If $\alpha>\frac d2+1$,
$H^\alpha \hookrightarrow C^1$, so $u$ is a solution of \eqref{e3.1}.

If $u$ and $\tilde{u}$ are two solutions of problem \eqref{e3.1}, 
then $w=u-\tilde{u}$ satisfies
\begin{gather*}
\partial_t{w}=\nabla w\cdot \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}v-v(-\Delta)^{1-s}w,\\
w(x,0)=0.
\end{gather*}
Similarly, we  get $\frac d{dt}\|w\|_{L^2}\leq 0$ and 
$\frac d{dt}\|w\|_{\dot{H}^\alpha}\leq \|v\|_{H^\alpha}\|w\|_{H^\alpha}$,
 i.e,
$\frac d{dt}\|w\|_{H^\alpha}\leq \|v\|_{H^\alpha}\|w\|_{H^\alpha}$. 
By Gronwall's inequality, $u(x,t)=0$, $(x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n\times[0,T]$.

Since $u_0\geq 0$ then if there exists a first time $t_0$ where for some 
point $x_0$ we have $u(x_0,t_0)=0$, then $(x_0,t_0)$ will correspond 
to a minimum point
and therefore $\nabla u(x_0,t_0)=0$, and
\begin{equation*}
(-\Delta)^{1-s}u(x)=c\int \frac {u(x)-u(y)}{|y|^{n+2-2s}}{\rm d}y\leq0.
\end{equation*}
 Hence $ u_t|_{(x_0,t_0)}\geq 0$. So $u(x,t)\geq 0$ for all 
$(x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n\times[0,T]$.
\end{proof}

\begin{theorem} \label{thm3.2}
Let $n\geq 2$, $s\in [\frac12,1)$, $\alpha>\frac d2+1$, 
$u_0\in H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and $u_0\geq 0$. Then there  the linear 
initial value problem
\begin{gather*}
\partial_t{u}=\nabla\cdot(u\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}u),\\
u(x,0)=u_{0}.
\end{gather*}
has a unique solution $u\in C^1([0,T_0],H^\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n))$. 
If the initial data $u_0\geq 0$, then $u\geq0, (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}^n\times[0,T_0]$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}
Set $u^1=u_0$. Note that  
$\partial_t{u}=\nabla\cdot(u\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}u)
=\nabla u\cdot \nabla (-\Delta)^{-s}u-u(-\Delta)^{1-s}u$,
and let  $\{u^{n}\}$ be the sequence defined by
\begin{equation}\label{e3.1}
\begin{gathered}
\partial_t{u^{n+1}}=\nabla u^{n+1}\cdot \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}u^{n}
-u^n(-\Delta)^{1-s}u^{(n+1)},\\
u^{n+1}(x,0)=u_{0}.
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
By Theorem \ref{thm3.1}, $u^2\in C([0,T);H^\alpha)$, for all $T<\infty$, satisfies 
$u^2\geq 0$ and
\begin{equation*}
\sup_{0\leq t\leq T}\|u^2\|_{H^\alpha}
\leq \|u_0\|_{H^\alpha}\exp(C\|u^1\|_{H^\alpha}T).
\end{equation*}
If $\exp(2C\|u_1\|_{H^\alpha}T_0)\leq2$, for example 
$T_0=\frac {\ln 2}{2C(1+\|u_0\|_{H^\alpha})}$, we have 
\[
\sup_{0\leq t\leq T_0}\|u^2\|_{H^\alpha}\leq 2\|u_0\|_{H^\alpha}. 
\]
By the standard induction argument, if $u^{n}\in C([0,T_0];H^\alpha)$,
 $u^n\geq 0$ is a solution of \eqref{e3.1} with
 $\|u^n\|_{H^\alpha}\leq 2\|u_0\|_{H^\alpha}$. 
By Theorem \ref{thm3.1}  $u^{n+1}\in C([0,T_0];H^\alpha)$ , $u^{n+1}\geq0$ and
\begin{gather*}
\sup_{0\leq t\leq T_0}\|u^{n+1}\|_{H^\alpha}
\leq \|u_0\|_{H^\alpha}\exp(C\|u^{n}\|_{H^\alpha}T_0)\leq 2\|u_0\|_{H^\alpha}, \\
\frac d{dt}\|u^{n+1}\|_{H^{\alpha-1}}
\leq C\|u^n\|_{H^\alpha}\|u^{n+1}\|_{H^\alpha}\leq C\|u_0\|^2_{H^\alpha}.
\end{gather*}
By Aubin compactness theorem \cite{simon}, there is a subsequence of $u^{n}$ 
that convergence strongly to $u$ in $C([0,T];H^\alpha)$. 
If $u\geq 0,\tilde{u}\geq0$ are two solutions of problem \eqref{e3.1}, 
then $w=u-\tilde{u}$ satisfies 
\begin{gather*}
\partial_t{w}=\nabla\cdot(w \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}u)
+\nabla \cdot(\tilde{u}\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}w),\\
w(x,0)=0.
\end{gather*}
By Proposition \ref{prop2.2},
\begin{align*}
\frac12\frac d{dt}{\|w\|_{L^2}^2}
&=\int w\nabla\cdot(w \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}u)
 +\int w\nabla \tilde{u}\cdot\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}w
 -\int w \tilde{u}(-\Delta)^{1-s}w \\
& =: I_1+I_2+I_3.
\end{align*}
Note that
\begin{gather*}
\begin{aligned}
I_1&=\int w\nabla w\cdot \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}u
 =\frac12\int\nabla w^2\cdot \nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}u\\
&=\frac12\int w^2(-\Delta)^{1-s}u
 \leq C\|u\|_{H^{\alpha}}\|w\|^2_{L^2},
\end{aligned}\\
I_3\leq-\frac 12\int \tilde{u}(-\Delta)^{1-s}w^2
 =\int-\frac 12(-\Delta)^{1-s}\tilde{u}\cdot w^2\leq C\|u\|_{H^{\alpha}}\|w\|^2_{L^2}.
\end{gather*}
When $s>1/2$,
\begin{align*}
I_2&\leq C\|w\|_{L^2}\|\nabla u\cdot\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}w\|_{L^2} \\
   &\leq C\|w\|_{L^2}\|\nabla u\|_{\dot{H}^{\frac n2+1-2s}}
 \|\nabla(-\Delta)^{-s}w\|_{\dot{H}^{2s-1}}
   \leq C\|u\|_{H^{\alpha}}\|w\|^2_{L^2}.
\end{align*}
When $s=1/2$, the above estimates are still valid. 
 Combining the above estimates we have  
$\frac {d}{dt}\|w\|_{L^2}\leq C\|w\|_{L^2}\|u\|_{H^{\alpha}}$. 
By Gronwall's inequality we can deduce $w(x,t)=0$ on $[0,T_0]$.
\end{proof}

\section{Correction}
In  \cite{zhou01}, trying to establish the  well-posedness of 
\eqref{e1.1} in Besov spaces the authors incurred in a mistake in page 9
when estimating the term $J_4'$ in equation \cite[(4.5)]{zhou01}.
 To correct the mistake, we modify our proof the following way.
\medskip

\textbf{\cite[Theorem 1.1]{zhou01}}
Let $n\geq2,s\in[\frac12,1],\alpha>n+1$. If  the initial data 
$u_0\in B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha}$, then there exists 
$T=T(\|u_0\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha}})$ such that
\eqref{e1.1} has a unique solution in $[0,T]\times \mathbb{R}^n$.
Such a  solution belongs to 
$C^1([0,T];B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha+2s-2})\cap L^{\infty}([0,T];B_{1,\infty}^{\beta})$,
 with $\beta\in[\alpha+2s-2,\alpha]$.
\smallskip

\begin{proof}
First we construct the approximate equation
\begin{equation}\label{equation41}
\begin{gathered}
 u_t^{(n+1)}=\nabla u^{(n+1)} \cdot \nabla(-\triangle)^{-s}u_{\epsilon}^{(n)}
 -u_{\epsilon}^{(n)}(-\triangle)^{1-s}u^{(n+1)};   \\
 u^{(n+1)}(0)=\sigma_{\epsilon}*u_0,\quad u^{(1)}=\sigma_{\epsilon}*u_0.
\end{gathered}
\end{equation}
By the argument in section 2, there exists a sequence $u^{(n)}$ that solves 
the linear systems \eqref{equation41}. Assuming that  $u_0\geq0$, 
we prove that $u^{(n+1)}\geq0$.
Inspired by \cite{caffarelli02}, we assume that $x_0$ is a point of 
minimum of $u^{(n+1)}$ at time $t=t_0$. This indicates that
$\nabla u^{(n+1)}(x_0)=0$, and
\[
 (-\triangle)^{1-s} u^{(n+1)}(x_0)=c\int \frac{u(x_0)-u(y)}{|y|^{n+2(1-s)}}dy\leq0.
\]
Thus we deduce that $\frac{\partial}{\partial t}u^{(n+1)}\big|_{t=t_0}\geq0$, 
and by induction we have
$u^{(n+1)}\geq 0.$
Arguing as in   \cite{zhou01}, taking $\triangle_j$ on \eqref{equation41},
 we obtain
\begin{align*}
 \partial_t \triangle_j u^{(n+1)}
& =\sum[\triangle_j,\partial_i (-\triangle)^{-s} u_{\epsilon}^{(n)}]
  \partial_i u^{{n+1}}
   +\sum \partial_i(-\triangle)^{-s} u_{\epsilon}^{(n)} 
 \triangle_j (\partial_i u^{(n+1)})	\\
&\quad -[\triangle_j,u_{\epsilon}^{(n)}] (-\triangle)^{1-s} u^{(n+1)}
  -u_{\epsilon}^{(n)} \triangle_j (-\triangle)^{1-s}u^{(n+1)}.
\end{align*}
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{\triangle_j u^{(n+1)}}{|\triangle_j u^{(n+1)}|}$, 
and integrating over $\mathbb{R}^d$, then denote the corresponding part in 
the right side by $J_1', J_2', J_3', J_4'$, respectively. We obtain the estimates,
\begin{gather*}
 J_1' \leq C 2^{-j\alpha}\|u^{(n+1)}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha}} 
 \|u^{(n)}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha+1-2s}}	\\
 J_2' \leq C 2^{-j\alpha}\|u^{(n+1)}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha}} 
 \|u^{(n)}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha+1-2s}}	\\
 J_3' \leq C 2^{-j\alpha}\|u^{(n)}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha}} 
 \|u^{(n+1)}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha+1-2s}}.
\end{gather*}
The estimate for the term $J_4'$ is now replaced by
\begin{align*}
J_4' =
 &-\int u^{(n)}\triangle_j (-\triangle)^{1-s} u^{(n+1)} 
 \frac{\triangle_j u^{(n+1)}}{|\triangle_j u^{(n+1)}|} \\
 &\leq -\int u^{(n)} (-\triangle)^{1-s} |\triangle_j u^{(n+1)}|      \\
 &\leq -\int (-\triangle)^{1-s} u^{(n)}  |\triangle u^{(n+1)}|   \\
 &\leq 2^{-j\alpha}\|u^{n}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{r+2-2s}}
 \|u^{(n+1)}\|_{B_{1,\infty}^{\alpha}}.
\end{align*}
Here $r>d$ is any real number.  The  first inequality uses the 
following pointwise estimate.

\begin{proposition}[\cite{miao01}]
If $0\leq \alpha \leq 2$, $p\geq1$, then
 $$
p|f(x)|^{p-2}f(x)\Lambda^{\alpha}f(x)\geq \Lambda^{\alpha}|f(x)|^p.
$$
for any $f\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^d)$
\end{proposition}

Taking $r$ such that $r+2-2s<\alpha$, e.g. set $r=\alpha-1$, we conclude
\[
  \frac{d}{dt}\|u^{(n+1)}\|_{B_{1,,\infty}^\alpha}
\leq \|u^{(n)}\|_{B_{1,,\infty}^\alpha}\|u^{(n+1)}\|_{B_{1,,\infty}^\alpha}.
\]
The other parts of the proof need no modification.
\end{proof}
