The Cauchy problem for the parabolic equation \[ {\mathcal P}u= \partial u/\partial t- \sum^n_{j,l=1} a_{jl}(t, x)\partial^2 u/\partial x_j\partial x_l= g(t,x) \] is studied. The operator \({\mathcal P}\) is taken in a general form with Hölder continuous coefficients. The authors find closed, convex subspaces of functions which are mapped to itself by the operator \(u\to{\mathcal P}^{-1}{\mathcal F}[u]\), where \({\mathcal F}[u](t, x)= f(t, x,u_{(t,x)})\). One of the obtained results is that there exists a unique bounded \(C^0\) solution for the considered problem with \(g= f(t,x,u_{(t, x)})\) and initial condition \(u= \varphi(t,x)\) on \(E_0\), where \(E_0= [-\tau_0, 0]\times \mathbb{R}^n\) \((\tau_0> 0)\). Moreover, the existence of classical \(C^{1,2}\) solutions as well as existence of a unique weak \(C^{0,1}\) solution are proved.
