Local estimates and global existence for strongly nonlinear parabolic equations with locally integrable data (Q862247): Difference between revisions

In the present study the authors prove the existence of distributional solutions for two classes of strongly nonlinear Cauchy problems, which include, as model examples \[ \begin{cases} u_t-\text{div}\bigl(|Du|^{p-2}Du \bigr)+g(u)=f(x,t)\quad & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^d\times(0,T),\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x) \quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^d\end{cases}\tag{1} \] and \[ \begin{cases} u_t-\text{div} \bigl(|Du|^{p-2}Du\bigr)+j(u)=|Du|^p+f(x,t)\quad & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^d x(0,T),\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x)\quad & \text{in }\mathbb{R}^d.\end{cases}\tag{2} \] The authors obtain at first local a priori estimates and consequently global existence results. The results were obtained under optimal growth conditions on the zero-order terms.
