Gradient Flow Solutions For Porous Medium Equations with Nonlocal L\'{e}vy-type Pressure

Analysis of PDEs 2025-03-06 v3

Abstract

We study a porous medium-type equation whose pressure is given by a nonlocal L\'{e}vy operator associated to a symmetric jump L\'{e}vy kernel. The class of nonlocal operators under consideration appears as a generalization of the classical fractional Laplace operator. For the class of L\'evy-operators, we construct weak solutions using a variational minimizing movement scheme. The lack of interpolation techniques is ensued by technical challenges that render our setting more challenging than the one known for fractional operators.
