Abstract

In this paper we study a doubly degenerate parabolic equation involving a convection term and the operator Aμu:=Δpu+μ(Δ)qsu\mathcal{A}_\mu u:=-\Delta_p u +\mu (-\Delta)^s_q u which is a linear combination of the pp-Laplacian and the fractional qq-Laplacian, and results in a mixed local-nonlocal nonlinear operator. The problem we study is the following, \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \partial_t \beta(u)+ \mathcal{A}_\mu u= div (\overset{\to}{f}(u))+g(t,x,u) \quad \text{in} \;Q_T:=(0,T)\times \Omega, u=0 \quad \text{in} \; (0,T)\times (\mathbb{R}^d \backslash \Omega), u(0)=u_0 \text{ in } \Omega. \end{cases}\ \end{equation*} We discuss existence, uniqueness and qualitative behavior of, what we call {\it weak-mild} solutions, that is weak solutions of this problem that when interpreted as v=β(u)v=\beta(u) they are a mild solutions. In particular, we investigate stabilization to steady state, extinction and blow up in finite time and show how the occurrence of such behaviors depend on specific conditions on the nonlinearities β\beta (typically of porous media type), f\overset{\to}{f} and the source term gg, and on their relation, in terms of certain regularity and growth conditions.
