Asymptotic stability of the nonlocal diffusion equation with nonlocal delay

Abstract

This work focuses on the asymptotic stability of nonlocal diffusion equations in ‐dimensional space with nonlocal time‐delayed response term. To begin with, we prove and ‐decay estimates for the fundamental solution of the linear time‐delayed equation by Fourier transform. For the considered nonlocal diffusion equation, we show that if , then the solution converges globally to the trivial equilibrium time‐exponentially. If , then the solution converges globally to the trivial equilibrium time‐algebraically. Furthermore, it can be proved that when , the solution converges globally to the positive equilibrium time‐exponentially, and when , the solution converges globally to the positive equilibrium time‐algebraically. Here, , and are the coefficients of each term contained in the linear part of the nonlinear term . All convergence rates above are and ‐decay estimates. The comparison principle and low‐frequency and high‐frequency analyses are significantly effective in proofs. Finally, our theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations in different situations.
