Abstract
In this paper, we present a dual-horizon nonlocal diffusion model, in which the influence area at each point consists of a standard sphere horizon and an irregular dual horizon and its geometry is determined by the distribution of the varying horizon parameter. We prove the mass conservation and maximum principle of the proposed nonlocal model, and establish its well-posedness and convergence to the classical diffusion model. Noticing that the dual horizon-related term in fact vanishes in the corresponding variational form of the model, we then propose a finite element discretization for its numerical solution, which avoids the difficulty of accurate calculations of integrals on irregular intersection regions between the mesh elements and the dual horizons. Various numerical experiments in two and three dimensions are also performed to illustrate the usage of the variable horizon and demonstrate the effectiveness of the numerical scheme.
