Asymptotic analysis of the \(p\)-Laplacian flow in an exterior domain (Q1012358)

This work deals with the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of the evolutionary \(p\)-Laplacian equation \[ {\partial u\over\partial t}=\nabla\cdot(|\nabla u|^{p- 2}\nabla u) \] in an exterior domain \(\Omega\times [0,\infty)\), where \(\Omega= \mathbb{R}^N\setminus G\), \(G\) being a bounded open set and \(p\geq N\). In this Dirichlet problem \(G\) represents the holes of the domain. The case \(p= N\) is the more demanding one here. Sharp results are given in terms of known quantities. One of the tools is comparism with exact solution. Some expedient auxiliary quantities are constructed. At the end the authors pose an open problem.
