We study the uniqueness, existence, and properties of bounded distributional solutions of the initial value problem for the anomalous diffusion equation 300706&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0001870816300706&_rdoc=1&_issn=00018708&md5=862489539dacb83938e6492570a93ed4" title="Click to view the MathML source">∂tu−Lμ[φ(u)]=0.

The class of equations include nonlocal (generalized) porous medium equations, fast diffusion equations, and Stefan problems. In addition to very general uniqueness and existence results, we obtain stability, 300706&_mathId=si150.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0001870816300706&_rdoc=1&_issn=00018708&md5=4879b6d449d300dec5a998bc81e6696f" title="Click to view the MathML source">L1-contraction, and a priori estimates. We also study local limits, continuous dependence, and properties and convergence of a numerical approximation of our equations.
