Abstract: The authors study a porous medium equation with a right-hand side. The operator has nonlocal diffusion effects given by an inverse fractional Laplacian operator. The derivative in time is also fractional and is of Caputo-type, which takes into account ``memory''. The precise model is $$ \D_t^{\alpha} u - \text{div}(u(-\Delta)^{-\sigma} u) = f, \quad 0<\sigma <\frac12. $$ This paper poses the problem over $\{t\in \R^+, x\in \R^n\}$ with nonnegative initial data $u(0,x)\geq 0 $ as well as the right-hand side $f\geq 0$. The existence for weak solutions when $f,u(0,x)$ have exponential decay at infinity is proved. The main result is H\"older continuity for such weak solutions.
