Obstacle problems for the fractional $p$-Laplacian on fractal domains: well-posedness and asymptotics

We study obstacle problems for the regional fractional $p$-Laplacian in a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ having as fractal boundary the Koch snowflake. We prove well-posedness results for the solution of the obstacle problem, as well as two equivalent formulations. Moreover, we study corresponding approximating obstacle problems in a sequence of domains $\Omega_n\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ having as boundary the $n$-th pre-fractal approximation of the Koch snowflake, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$. After proving the well-posedness of the approximating obstacle problems, we perform the asymptotic analysis for both $n\to+\infty$ and $p\to+\infty$.

Non-autonomous semilinear fractional evolution equations: well-posedness and ultracontractivity results

We consider a time-fractional semilinear parabolic abstract Cauchy problem for a time-dependent sectorial operator $A(t)$ which satisfies the Acquistapace-Terreni conditions. We first prove local existence results for the mild solution of the problem at hand. Then we prove, under suitable assumptions on the initial datum, that the solution is also global in time. This is achieved by proving ultracontractivity estimates for the fractional evolution families associated with the operator $A(t)$.

Identification problems for anisotropic time-fractional subdiffusion equations

We investigate the inverse problem consisting in the identification of constant coefficients for a fractional-in-time partial differential equation governed by a finite sum of positive self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space under energy-type overdeterminating conditions. We prove the uniqueness of the solution to the inverse problem when the fractional order $\alpha$ of the derivative is in $(0,1)$. A conditioned existence result is also provided, complemented with a suitable selection of numerical calculations. In addition, we prove that, as $\alpha\to 1^{-}$, the solution corresponding to $\alpha$ tends to the classical one ($\alpha=1$). Applications to examples of heat diffusion and elasticity are presented.

Non-local boundary energy forms for quasidiscs: Codimension gap and approximation

We consider non-local energy forms of fractional Laplace type on quasicircles and prove that they can be approximated by similar energy forms on polygonal curves. The approximation is in terms of generalized Mosco convergence along a sequence of varying Hilbert spaces. The domains of the energy forms are the natural trace spaces, and we focus on the case of quasicircles of Hausdorff dimension greater than one. The jump in Hausdorff dimension results in a mismatch of fractional orders, which we compensate by a suitable choice of kernels. We provide approximations of quasidiscs by polygonal $(\varepsilon,\infty)$-domains with common parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and show convergence results for superpositions of Dirichlet integrals and non-local boundary energy forms.

Dynamic boundary conditions for time dependent fractional operators on extension domains

We consider a parabolic semilinear non-autonomous problem $(\tilde P)$ for a fractional time dependent operator $\mathcal{B}^{s,t}_\Omega$ with Wentzell-type boundary conditions in a possibly non-smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. We prove existence and uniqueness of the mild solution of the associated semilinear abstract Cauchy problem $(P)$ via an evolution family $U(t,\tau)$. We then prove that the mild solution of the abstract problem $(P)$ actually solves problem $(\tilde P)$ via a generalized fractional Green formula.

Singular p-homogenization for highly conductive fractal layers

We consider a quasi-linear homogenization problem in a two-dimensional pre-fractal domain $\Omega_n$, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$, surrounded by thick fibers of amplitude $\varepsilon$. We introduce a sequence of "pre-homogenized" energy functionals and we prove that this sequence converges in a suitable sense to a quasi-linear fractal energy functional involving a $p$-energy on the fractal boundary. We prove existence and uniqueness results for (quasi-linear) pre-homogenized and homogenized fractal problems. The convergence of the solutions is also investigated.

Magnetostatic problems in fractal domains

We consider a magnetostatic problem in a 3D "cylindrical" domain of Koch type. We prove existence and uniqueness results for both the fractal and pre-fractal problems and we investigate the convergence of the pre-fractal solutions to the limit fractal one. We consider the numerical approximation of the pre-fractal problems via FEM and we prove a priori error estimates. Some numerical simulations are also shown. Our long term motivation includes studying problems that appear in quantum physics in fractal domains.
