Our focus is on the fast diffusion equation driven by the $p$-Laplacian operator, that is $\partial_t u=\Delta_p u$ with $1<p<2$, posed in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$. The nonnegative solutions are expected to converge in time…
In this paper we propose and validate a multiscale model for the description of particle diffusion in presence of trapping boundaries. We start from a drift-diffusion equation in which the drift term describes the effect of bubble traps,…
