Abstract

We study a porous medium equation with nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. The precise model is u t = · ( u ( - Δ ) - s u ) , 0 < s < 1 . The problem is posed in { x n , t } with nonnegative initial data u ( x , 0 ) that are integrable and decay at infinity. A previous paper has established the existence of mass-preserving, nonnegative weak solutions satisfying energy estimates and finite propagation. As main results we establish the boundedness and C α regularity of such weak solutions. Finally, we extend the existence theory to all nonnegative and integrable initial data.
