description

In this paper we study existence and uniqueness of solutions to the local diffusion equation with Neumann boundary conditions and a bounded nonhomogeneous diffusion coefficient g ≥ 0, {ut = div (g|∇u|p-2∇u) in ]0; T[×Ωg|∇u|p-2u·n = 0 on ]0; T[×∂Ω; for 1 ≤ p < ∞. We show that a nonlocal counterpart of this diffusion problem is ut(t; x)= ∫ω J(x-y)g(x+y/2)|u(t; y)-u(t; x)| p-2 (u(t; y)-u(t; x)) dy in ]0; T[× Ω,where the diffusion coefficient has been reinterpreted by means of the values of g at the point x+y/2 in the integral operator. The fact that g ≥ 0 is allowed to vanish in a set of positive measure involves subtle difficulties, specially in the case p = 1.
