contents This paper presents a minimum flow approach applicable to a wide range of doubly nonlinear diffusion problems. We introduce a minimum flow steepest descent algorithm that seeks an optimal traffic flow by minimizing an internal energy function, while incorporating a specific minimum flow constraint for the transition work. This flexible framework surpasses traditional methods by generalizing (among other things) the established $H^{-1}$-theory for linear diffusion to the nonlinear setting. It offers distinct advantages in handling diverse applications, leveraging both the intrinsic internal energy and the inherent traffic flow concepts. The approach demonstrably tackles various applications, including fluid flow in porous media and many other scenarios like the Stefan/Hele-Shaw problem. Notably, it can handle diverse differential operators, encompassing even nonlinear ones like the $p-$Laplacian and Leray-Lions operators. Furthermore, it allows for the simultaneous handling convection/transport phenomena and complex boundary conditions within both the energy and transition work functions, contrasting favorably with other steepest descent algorithm like the JKO scheme in Wasserstein spaces. The paper delves into details of this comparison and offers additional theoretical insights involving $p'-$curve and metric gradient flow in Sobolev dual spaces.
