A nonlocal convection-diffusion equation

In this paper we study a nonlocal equation that takes into account convective and diffusive effects, ut = J * u - u + G * (f (u)) - f (u) in Rd, with J radially symmetric and G not necessarily symmetric. First, we prove existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence with respect to the initial cond...

Descripción
Sumario:In this paper we study a nonlocal equation that takes into account convective and diffusive effects, ut = J * u - u + G * (f (u)) - f (u) in Rd, with J radially symmetric and G not necessarily symmetric. First, we prove existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence with respect to the initial condition of solutions. This problem is the nonlocal analogous to the usual local convection-diffusion equation ut = Δ u + b ṡ ∇ (f (u)). In fact, we prove that solutions of the nonlocal equation converge to the solution of the usual convection-diffusion equation when we rescale the convolution kernels J and G appropriately. Finally we study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions as t → ∞ when f (u) = | u |q - 1 u with q > 1. We find the decay rate and the first-order term in the asymptotic regime. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
