In this paper we characterise the minimisers of a one-parameter family of nonlocal and anisotropic energies $I_alpha$ defined on probability measures in $R^n$, with $ngeq 3$. The energy $I_alpha$ consists of a purely nonlocal term of convolution type, whose interaction kernel reduces to the Coulomb potential for $alpha=0$ and is anisotropic otherwise, and a quadratic confinement. The two-dimensional case arises in the study of defects in metals and has been solved by the authors by means of complex-analysis techniques. We prove that for $alphain (-1, n-2]$, the minimiser of $I_alpha$ is unique and is the (normalised) characteristic function of a spheroid. This result is a paradigmatic example of the role of the anisotropy of the kernel on the shape of minimisers. In particular, the phenomenon of loss of dimensionality, observed in dimension $n=2$, does not occur in higher dimension at the value $alpha=n-2$ corresponding to the sign change of the Fourier transform of the interaction potential.

Using a classical technique introduced by Achi E. Brandt for elliptic equations, we study a general class of nonlocal equations obtained as a superposition of classical and fractional operators in different variables. We obtain that the increments of the derivative of the solution in the direction of a variable experiencing classical diffusion are controlled linearly, with a logarithmic correction. From this, we obtain Holder estimates for the solution.
Recently, several works have been carried out in attempt to develop a theory for linear or sublinear elliptic equations involving a general class of nonlocal operators characterized by mild assumptions on the associated Green kernel. In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem for superlinear equation (E) ${mathbb L} u = u^p +lambda mu$ in a bounded domain $Omega$ with homogeneous boundary or exterior Dirichlet condition, where $p>1$ and $lambda>0$. The operator ${mathbb L}$ belongs to a class of nonlocal operators including typical types of fractional Laplacians and the datum $mu$ is taken in the optimal weighted measure space. The interplay between the operator ${mathbb L}$, the source term $u^p$ and the datum $mu$ yields substantial difficulties and reveals the distinctive feature of the problem. We develop a new unifying technique based on a fine analysis on the Green kernel, which enables us to construct a theory for semilinear equation (E) in measure frameworks. A main thrust of the paper is to provide a fairly complete description of positive solutions to the Dirichlet problem for (E). In particular, we show that there exist a critical exponent $p^*$ and a threshold value $lambda^*$ such that the multiplicity holds for $1<p<p^*$ and $0<lambda<lambda^*$, the uniqueness holds for $1<p<p^*$ and $lambda=lambda^*$, and the nonexistence holds in other cases. Various types of nonlocal operator are discussed to exemplify the wide applicability of our theory.
We analyze the well-posedness of an anisotropic, nonlocal diffusion equation. Establishing an equivalence between weighted and unweighted anisotropic nonlocal diffusion operators in the vein of unified nonlocal vector calculus, we apply our analysis to a class of fractional-order operators and present rigorous estimates for the solution of the corresponding anisotropic anomalous diffusion equation. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to the anisotropic diffusion-advection equation and prove well-posedness for fractional orders s in [0.5,1). We also present an application of the advection-diffusion equation to anomalous transport of solutes.
In this paper we study two different ways of coupling a local operator with a nonlocal one in such a way that the resulting equation is related to an energy functional. In the first strategy the coupling is given via source terms in the equation and in the second one a flux condition in the local part appears. For both models we prove existence and uniqueness of a solution that is obtained via direct minimization of the related energy functional. In the second part of this paper we extend these ideas to deal with local/nonlocal elasticity models in which we couple classical local elasticity with nonlocal peridynamics.
We prove global-in-time existence and uniqueness of measure solutions of a nonlocal interaction system of two species in one spatial dimension. For initial data including atomic parts we provide a notion of gradient-flow solutions in terms of the pseudo-inverses of the corresponding cumulative distribution functions, for which the system can be stated as a gradient flow on the Hilbert space $L^2(0,1)^2$ according to the classical theory by Brezis. For absolutely continuous initial data we construct solutions using a minimising movement scheme in the set of probability measures. In addition we show that the scheme preserves finiteness of the $L^m$-norms for all $min [1,+infty]$ and of the second moments. We then provide a characterisation of equilibria and prove that they are achieved (up to time subsequences) in the large time asymptotics. We conclude the paper constructing two examples of non-uniqueness of measure solutions emanating from the same (atomic) initial datum, showing that the notion of gradient flow solution is necessary to single out a unique measure solution.
