We investigate the Cauchy problem for a semilinear spatio--temporal fractional diffusion equation with a time-dependent forcing term: \[ \partial_t^\alpha u + (-\Delta)^{\mathsf{s}} u = |u|^p + t^{\sigma}\,\mathbf{w}(x), \quad (t,x) \in…
We solve the Navier-Stokes equations with two simultaneous forcings. One forcing is applied at a given large-scale and it injects energy. The other forcing is applied at all scales belonging to the inertial range and it injects helicity. In…
