Nonlinear diffusion equations driven by the \(p(\cdot)\)-Laplacian (Q1938508): Difference between revisions

The authors considered the following initial-boundary value problem: \[ \partial_tu=\nabla\cdot(|\nabla\phi(x)|^{p(x)-2}\nabla\phi(x))+f,\qquad\text{in }\Omega\times (0,\infty), \] \[ u=0,\qquad\text{on }\partial\Omega\times (0,\infty), \] \[ u(\cdot,0)=u_0,\qquad\text{in }\Omega, \] where \(\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^N\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\), \(f\) and \(u_0\) are given functions. The authors investigated the asymptotic behaviors of the solutions of the problem as \(t\rightarrow 0\) when \(f\equiv0\), and also found out the limiting behavior of the solutions as \(p_n(\cdot)\rightarrow\infty\).
