Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear parabolic equation associated with the fractional $p$-Laplace operator on the upper half space

$\begin{cases} \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}(x,t)+(-\triangle)^s_pu(x,t)=f(u(x,t)), &\quad(x,t)\in\mathbb{R}^{n}_+\times(0,\infty),\\ u(x,t)>0, &\quad(x,t)\in\mathbb{R}^{n}_+\times(0,\infty),\\ u(x,t)=0, &\quad(x,t)\notin\mathbb{R}^{n}_+\times(0,\infty). \end{cases}$

First, the narrow region principle and the maximum principle for antisymmetric functions are proved in both bounded and unbounded domains. Then, the Hopf lemma for antisymmetric functions is established. Finally, using the method of moving planes, the monotonicity of solutions to the parabolic equation associated with the fractional $p$-Laplace operator on the upper half space is demonstrated.

Key words: fractional $p$-Laplace operator, parabolic equations, monotonicity, Hopf lemma for antisymmetric functions, moving plane method
