Using energy methods, we prove some power-law and exponential decay estimates for classical and nonlocal evolutionary equations. The results obtained are framed into a general setting, which comprise, among the others, equations involving both standard and Caputo time-derivative, and diffusion operators as the classic and fractional Laplacian, complex valued magnetic operators, fractional porous media equations and nonlocal Kirchhoff operators. Both local and fractional space diffusion are taken into account, possibly in a nonlinear setting. The different quantitative behaviours, which distinguish polynomial decays from exponential ones, depend heavily on the structure of the time-derivative involved in the equation. This work was done in collaboration with Enrico Valdinoci.

We present some properties of a nonlocal version of the Neumann boundary conditions associated to problems involving the fractional p-Laplacian. For this problems, we show some regularity results for the general case and some existence results for particular types of problems. When p=2, we give a generalization of the boundary conditions in which both the nonlocal and the classic Neumann conditions are present, and we consider problems involving both nonlocal and local interactions.

I will consider a class of degenerate nonlinear operators that are extremal among operators with one dimensional fractional diffusion and that approximate the so-called truncated Laplacians. I will show some properties of these operators, emphasizing the differences both with the local equivalent operators and with more standard nonlocal operators such as the fractional Laplacian. In particular, continuity properties, validity of comparison and maximum principles, and their relation with principal eigenvalues, will be presented.
