We study a class of semilinear diffusion equations on infinite, connected, weighted graphs, focusing on two types of nonlinearities: monotone decreasing and Lipschitz continuous. Under minimal structural assumptions on the graph, we establish existence, uniqueness, and regularity of mild solutions for initial data in $\ell^p$ spaces, with $1\leq p< +\infty$. Our approach relies on time discretization via an implicit Euler scheme and an exhaustion technique using Dirichlet subgraphs. As a by-product, we obtain existence and uniqueness results for a related time-independent equation. Finite-time extinction and positivity for solutions under a specific forcing term are also proved.

Abstract
We study a class of semilinear diffusion equations on infinite, connected, weighted graphs, focusing on two types of nonlinearities: monotone decreasing and Lipschitz continuous. Under minimal structural assumptions on the graph, we establish existence, uniqueness, and regularity of mild solutions for initial data in $\ell^p$ spaces, with $1\leq p< +\infty$. Our approach relies on time discretization via an implicit Euler scheme and an exhaustion technique using Dirichlet subgraphs. As a by-product, we obtain existence and uniqueness results for a related time-independent equation. Finite-time extinction and positivity for solutions under a specific forcing term are also proved.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
