Abstract

We study some non-parabolic diffusion problems in one space dimension, where the diffusion flux exhibits forward and backward nature of the Perona-Malik, Höllig or non-Fourier type. Classical weak solutions to such problems are constructed in a way to capture some expected and unexpected properties, including anomalous asymptotic behaviors and energy dissipation or allocation. Specific properties of solutions will depend on the type of the diffusion flux, but the primary method of our study relies on reformulating diffusion equations involved as an inhomogeneous partial differential inclusion and on constructing solutions from the differential inclusion by a combination of the convex integration and Baire's category methods. In doing so, we introduce the appropriate notion of subsolutions of the partial differential inclusion and their transition gauge, which plays a pivotal role in dealing with some specific features of the constructed weak solutions.
