Nonlinear diffusion equations on graphs: global well-posedness, blow-up analysis and applications
摘要
For a nonlinear diffusion equation on graphs whose nonlinearity violates the Lipschitz condition, we prove short-time solution existence and characterize global well-posedness by establishing sufficient criteria for blow-up phenomena and quantifying blow-up rates. These theoretical results are then applied to model complex dynamical networks, with supporting numerical experiments. This work mainly makes two contributions: (i) generalization of existing results for diffusion equations on graphs to cases with nontrivial potentials, producing richer analytical results; (ii) a new PDE approach to model complex dynamical networks, with preliminary numerical experiments confirming its validity.
