Dyadic nonlocal diffusion in metric measure spaces

Abstract

In this paper we solve the initial value problem for the nonlocal diffusion generated by the space fractional derivative induced by the dyadic tilings of M. Christ on a space of homogeneous type. We consider the problems of pointwise and norm convergence to the initial data. The main tool is the use of the Haar system induced by a dyadic tiling, which is actually the set of eigenfunctions for the fractional derivative operator.
