Abstract

We consider an initial mixed-boundary value problem for anisotropic fractional type degenerate parabolic equations posed in bounded domains. Namely, we consider that the boundary of the domain splits into two parts. In one of them, we impose a Dirichlet boundary condition and in the other part a Neumann condition. Under this mixed-boundary condition, we show the existence of solutions for measurable and bounded non-negative initial data. The nonlocal anisotropic diffusion effect relies on an inverse of a $s$-fractional type elliptic operator, and the solvability is proved for any $s \in (0,1)$.
