Logarithmic diffusion and porous media equations: A unified description

In this work we present the logarithmic diffusion equation as a limit case when the index that characterizes a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation, in its diffusive term, goes to zero. A linear drift and a source term are considered in this equation. Its solution has a Lorentzian form, consequently this equation characterizes a superdiffusion like a Lévy kind. In addition an equation that unifies the porous media and the logarithmic diffusion equations, including a generalized diffusion equation in fractal dimension, is obtained. This unification is performed in the nonextensive thermostatistics context and increases the possibilities about the description of anomalous diffusive processes.
