Decay estimates for nonlinear nonlocal diffusion problems in the whole space

Publication date 18 September 2014

Abstract: In this paper we obtain bounds for the decay rate in the

L^{r} (r^{d})

-norm for the solutions to a nonlocal and nolinear evolution equation, namely,

u_t(x,t) = int_{ r^d} K(x,y) |u(y,t)- u(x,t)|^{p-2} (u(y,t)- u(x,t)) , dy,

with

x i n r^{d}

,

t > 0

. Here we consider a kernel

K (x, y)

of the form

K (x, y) = p s i (y - a (x)) + p s i (x - a (y))

, where

p s i

is a bounded, nonnegative function supported in the unit ball and

a

is a linear function

a (x) = A x

. To obtain the decay rates we derive lower and upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of a nonlocal diffusion operator of the form

T (u) = - i n t_{r^{d}} K (x, y) | u (y) - u (x) |^{p - 2} (u (y) - u (x)), d y

, with

1 l e q p < i n f t y

. The upper and lower bounds that we obtain are sharp and provide an explicit expression for the first eigenvalue in the whole

r^{d}

:

lambda_{1,p} ( r^d) = 2(int_{ r^d} psi (z) , dz)|frac{1}{|det{A}|^{1/p}} -1|^p.

Moreover, we deal with the

p = i n f t y

eigenvalue problem studying the limit as

p o i n f t y

of

l a m b d a_{1, p}^{1 / p}

.
