The boundary degeneracy theory of a strongly degenerate parabolic equation (Q2634909): Difference between revisions

The author studies the boundary condition of a class of degenerate parabolic equations in an open bounded smooth domain. The author uses the Chinese approach. The boundary value condition is implicitly contained thanks to a family of entropy inequalities. Moreover, the existence of the traditional trace on the boundary is not guaranteed, so the boundary value condition is satisfied in a weaker sense than that of the traditional way. The advantage of the Chinese way lies in the fact that one can figure out on which portion of the boundary should be imposed on the boundary value, whereas the rest of the boundary is free from any limitation. By introducing a new kind of entropy solution matching the partial boundary condition, the existence of the solution is obtained by the parabolic regularization method, and the stability of the solutions is obtained by Kruzkov's bi-variables method combined with a deep partition technique.
