We study a class of nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations with a harvesting term where the nonlocal operator is given by a Bernstein function of the Laplacian. In particular, it includes the fractional Laplacian, fractional relativistic operators, sum of fractional Laplacians of different order etc. We study existence, uniqueness and multiplicity results of the solutions to the steady state equation. We also consider the parabolic counterpart and establish the long time asymptotic of the solutions. Our proof techniques rely on both analytic and probabilistic arguments.
We develop general heterogeneous nonlocal diffusion models and investigate their connection to local diffusion models by taking a singular limit of focusing kernels. We reveal the link between the two groups of diffusion equations which include both spatial heterogeneity and anisotropy. In particular, we introduce the notion of deciding factors which single out a nonlocal diffusion model and typically consist of the total jump rate and the average jump length. In this framework, we also discuss the dependence of the profile of the steady state solutions on these deciding factors, thus shedding light on the preferential position of individuals.
We study a multi-dimensional nonlocal active scalar equation of the form $u_t+vcdot abla u=0$ in $mathbb R^+times mathbb R^d$, where $v=Lambda^{-2+alpha} abla u$ with $Lambda=(-Delta)^{1/2}$. We show that when $alphain (0,2]$ certain radial solutions develop gradient blowup in finite time. In the case when $alpha=0$, the equations are globally well-posed with arbitrary initial data in suitable Sobolev spaces.
We prove existence, uniqueness, regularity and separation properties for a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation with a reaction term. We deal here with the case of logarithmic potential and degenerate mobility as well an uniformly lipschitz in $u$ reaction term $g(x,t,u).$
We consider a Cahn-Hilliard equation which is the conserved gradient flow of a nonlocal total free energy functional. This functional is characterized by a Helmholtz free energy density, which can be of logarithmic type. Moreover, the spatial interactions between the different phases are modeled by a singular kernel. As a consequence, the chemical potential $mu$ contains an integral operator acting on the concentration difference $c$, instead of the usual Laplace operator. We analyze the equation on a bounded domain subject to no-flux boundary condition for $mu$ and by assuming constant mobility. We first establish the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution and some regularity properties. These results allow us to define a dissipative dynamical system on a suitable phase-space and we prove that such a system has a (connected) global attractor. Finally, we show that a Neumann-like boundary condition can be recovered for $c$, provided that it is supposed to be regular enough.
Let $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^n$ be a $C^2$ bounded domain and $chi>0$ be a constant. We will prove the existence of constants $lambda_Ngelambda_N^{ast}gelambda^{ast}(1+chiint_{Omega}frac{dx}{1-w_{ast}})^2$ for the nonlocal MEMS equation $-Delta v=lam/(1-v)^2(1+chiint_{Omega}1/(1-v)dx)^2$ in $Omega$, $v=0$ on $1Omega$, such that a solution exists for any $0lelambda<lambda_N^{ast}$ and no solution exists for any $lambda>lambda_N$ where $lambda^{ast}$ is the pull-in voltage and $w_{ast}$ is the limit of the minimal solution of $-Delta v=lam/(1-v)^2$ in $Omega$ with $v=0$ on $1Omega$ as $lambda earrow lambda^{ast}$. We will prove the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of the global solution of the corresponding parabolic nonlocal MEMS equation under various boundedness conditions on $lambda$. We also obtain the quenching behaviour of the solution of the parabolic nonlocal MEMS equation when $lambda$ is large.
