Ansgar Juengel: Entropy dissipation methods for nonlinear PDEs
1. Motivation: heat equation and logarithmic entropy - some PDEs in
applications - what are these methods good for?
2. Entropy: definitions and examples - heat equation revisited -
the Boltzmann equation and the H-theorem
3. Fokker-Planck equations: long-time asymptotics of the heat equation
- logarithmic Sobolev inequalities - nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations
- the Bakry-Emery method
4. Further applications: symmetrization and entropies - construction
of entropies

1. Nonlocal in time PDEs, in particular time fractional diffusion equations: applications in physics and mathematical approaches
2. Weak solutions in the subdiffusion case: energy estimates, Galerkin's method, boundedness, and the maximum
principle
3. Hölder and Harnack estimates for time fractional subdiffusion equations, global strong solvability of quasilinear
problems
