Abstract

We provide a rather complete description of the results obtained so far on the nonlinear diffusion equation ut=(um1(Δ)su)u_t=\nabla\cdot (u^{m-1}\nabla (-\Delta)^{-s}u), which describes a flow through a porous medium driven by a nonlocal pressure. We consider constant parameters m>1m>1 and 0<s<10<s<1, we assume that the solutions are non-negative, and the problem is posed in the whole space. We present a theory of existence of solutions, results on uniqueness, and relation to other models. As new results of this paper, we prove the existence of self-similar solutions in the range when N=1N=1 and m>2m>2, and the asymptotic behavior of solutions when N=1N=1. The cases m=1m = 1 and m=2m = 2 were rather well known.
