Abstract

In this manuscript we consider a non-local porous medium equation with non-local diffusion effects given by a fractional heat operator \begin{equation*} \partial_t u = \mbox{div}(u\nabla p),\qquad \partial_t p = -(-\Delta)^s p + u^2, \end{equation*} in three space dimensions for 3/4s<13/4\le s < 1 and analyze the long time asymptotics. The proof is based on energy methods and leads to algebraic decay towards the stationary solution u=0u=0 and p=0\nabla p=0 in the L2(R3)L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)-norm. The decay rate depends on the exponent ss. We also show weak-strong uniqueness of solutions and continuous dependence from the initial data. As a side product of our analysis we also show that existence of weak solutions, previously shown in [Caffarelli, Gualdani, Zamponi 2018] for 3/4s13/4\le s \le 1, holds for 1/2<s11/2 < s\le 1 if we consider our problem in the torus.
