A comment on the Jäger-Kačur linearization scheme for strongly nonlinear parabolic equations. (Q1775180)

The paper generalizes the approach to strongly nonlinear parabolic problems presented by J. Kačur. It uses a simple model problem to avoid technicalities. The aim of the paper is to rewrite the basic strongly nonlinear parabolic equations as variational equations in very general function spaces and to construct their solutions independently of the numerical properties of the linearization schemes known, e.g.\ the Jäger-Kačur scheme. The approach of the paper can be applied to, e.g., heat conduction problems and modeling of flow in porous media.
