Sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimates are typical of fractal graphs. We show that sub-Gaussian estimates on graphs follow from a Poincar\'e inequality, capacity upper bound, and a slow volume growth condition. An important feature of this work…

We study a porous medium equation with fractional potential pressure: $$ \partial_t u= \nabla \cdot (u^{m-1} \nabla p), \quad p=(-\Delta)^{-s}u, $$ for $m>1$, $0<s<1$ and $u(x,t)\ge 0$. To be specific, the problem is posed for $x\in…

We obtain Gaussian upper bounds for heat kernels of higher order differential operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded domains in $\R^N$. The bounds exhibit explicitly the nature of the spatial decay of the heat kernel close…
We prove the existence of global solutions to the Cauchy problem for noncommutative nonlinear wave equations in arbitrary even spatial dimensions where the noncommutativity is only in the spatial directions. We find that for existence there…
Finite propagation speed properties in mathematical elastic and viscoelastic models are fundamental in many applications where the data exhibits propagating fronts. We note particularly that this property is observed in biomechanical…
We consider equation $u_t(t,x) = \Delta u(t,x)- u(t,x) + g(u(t-h,x)) (*) $, when $g:\R_+\to \R_+$ has exactly two fixed points: $x_1= 0$ and $x_2=\kappa>0$. Assuming that $g$ is unimodal and has negative Schwarzian, we indicate explicitly a…

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for $\partial_tu-\partial_t^{-\alpha}\nabla^2u=f(t)$, that is, for a fractional diffusion ($-1<\alpha<0$) or wave ($0<\alpha<1$) equation. A numerical solution is found by applying a…
We give an integral variational characterization for the speed of fronts of the nonlinear diffusion equation $u_t = u_{xx} + f(u)$ with $f(0)=f(1)=0$, and $f>0$ in $(0,1)$, which permits, in principle, the calculation of the exact speed for…
