Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbb R^N$, where $N \ge 2$ and $\partial\Omega$ is not necessarily bounded. We consider two fast diffusion equations $\partial_t u= \mbox{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}{\nabla u})$ and $\partial_t u= \Delta u^{m}$,…

We consider a prototypical nonlinear parabolic equation whose flux has three distinguished features: it is nonlinear with respect to both the unknown and its gradient, it is homogeneous, and it depends only on the direction of the gradient.…

We study the nonlinear diffusion equation $ u_t=\Delta\phi(u) $ on general Euclidean domains, with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We assume that $ \phi^\prime(u) $ is bounded from below by $ |u|^{m_1-1} $ for small $ |u| $ and by…

A horizontal $N$-dimensional plane, having a diffusion of its own, exchanges with the lower half space. There, a reaction-diffusion process, modelled by a free boundary problem, takes place. We wish to understand whether, and how, the free…

We study the Dirichlet problem for the non-local diffusion equation $u_t=\int\{u(x+z,t)-u(x,t)\}\dmu(z)$, where $\mu$ is a $L^1$ function and $``u=\phi$ on $\partial\Omega\times(0,\infty)$'' has to be understood in a non-classical sense. We…
