Porous Medium Flow with both a Fractional Potential Pressure and Fractional Time Derivative

Abstract: We study a porous medium equation with right hand side. The operator has nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. The derivative in time is also fractional of Caputo-type and which takes into account "memory''. The precise model is [ D_t^{\alpha} u - \text{div}(u(-\Delta)^{-\sigma} u) = f, \quad 0<\sigma <1/2. ] We pose the problem over ${t\in {\mathbb R}^+, x\in {\mathbb R}^n}$ with nonnegative initial data $u(0,x)\geq 0 $ as well as right hand side $f\geq 0$. We first prove existence for weak solutions when $f,u(0,x)$ have exponential decay at infinity. Our main result is H\"older continuity for such weak solutions.
