Nonlocal doubly nonlinear diffusion problems with nonlinear boundary conditions

We study the existence and uniqueness of mild and strong solutions of nonlocal nonlinear diffusion problems of $p$-Laplacian type with nonlinear boundary conditions posed in metric random walk spaces. These spaces include, among others, weighted discrete graphs and $\mathbb{R}^N$ with a random walk induced by a nonsingular kernel. We also study the case of nonlinear dynamical boundary conditions. The generality of the nonlinearities considered allow us to cover the nonlocal counterparts of a large scope of local diffusion problems: Stefan problems, Hele-Shaw problems, diffusion in porous media problems, obstacle problems, and more. Nonlinear semigroup theory is the basis for this study.

Cahn-Hilliard Equations on Random Walk Spaces

In this paper we study a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard model (CHE) in the framework of random walk spaces, which includes as particular cases, the CHE on locally finite weighted connected graphs, the CHE determined by finite Markov chains or the Cahn-Hilliard Equations driven by convolution integrable kernels. We consider different transitions for the phase and the chemical potential, and a large class of potentials including obstacle ones. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions in $L^1$ of the Cahn-Hilliard Equation. We also show that the Cahn-Hilliard equation is the gradient flow of the Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional on an appropriate Hilbert space. We finally study the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions.

The Heat Flow on Metric Random Walk Spaces

In this paper we study the Heat Flow on Metric Random Walk Spaces, which unifies into a broad framework the heat flow on locally finite weighted connected graphs, the heat flow determined by finite Markov chains and some nonlocal evolution problems. We give different characterizations of the ergodicity and prove that a metric random walk space with positive Ollivier-Ricci curvature is ergodic. Furthermore, we prove a Cheeger inequality and, as a consequence, we show that a Poincaré inequality holds if, and only if, an isoperimetric inequality holds. We also study the Bakry-Émery curvature-dimension condition and its relation with functional inequalities like the Poincaré inequality and the transport-information inequalities.
