Abstract: We prove an energy inequality for nonlocal diffusion operators of the following type, and some of its generalisations: Lu(x):=intmathbbRNK(x,y)(u(y)−u(x))dy, where L acts on a real function u defined on mathbbRN, and we assume that K(x,y) is uniformly strictly positive in a neighbourhood of x=y. The inequality is a nonlocal analogue of the Nash inequality, and plays a similar role in the study of the asymptotic decay of solutions to the nonlocal diffusion equation partialtu=Lu as the Nash inequality does for the heat equation. The inequality allows us to give a precise decay rate of the Lp norms of u and its derivatives. As compared to existing decay results in the literature, our proof is perhaps simpler and gives new results in some cases (particularly, and surprisingly, in dimensions N=1,2).
