Abstract: We derive the dual variational principle (principle of minimal complementary energy) for the nonlocal nonlinear scalar diffusion problem, which may be viewed as the nonlocal version of the $p$-Laplacian operator. We establish existence and uniqueness of solutions (two-point fluxes) as well as their quantitative stability, which holds uniformly with respect to the small parameter (nonlocal horizon) characterizing the nonlocality of the problem. We then focus on the nonlocal analogue of the classical optimal control in the coefficient problem associated with the dual variational principle, which may be interpreted as that of optimally distributing a limited amount of conductivity in order to minimize the complementary energy. We show that this nonlocal optimal control problem $Gamma$-converges to its local counterpart, when the nonlocal horizon vanishes.
