The inequality is a nonlocal analogue of the Nash inequality, and plays a similar role in the study of the asymptotic decay of solutions to the nonlocal diffusion equation ∂ t u = L u as the Nash inequality does for the heat equation. The inequality allows us to give a precise decay rate of the L p norms of u and its derivatives. As compared to existing decay results in the literature, our proof is perhaps simpler and gives new results in some cases.}, organization = {J. A.
