Existence and large-time asymptotics for solutions of semilinear parabolic systems with measure data (Q2343010)

Under consideration is the parabolic system \[ u_t^k- A_t u^k = f^k(t,x,\vec{u})+\mu_{k}, \quad \;A_{t}u=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i,j =1}^n\partial_{x_i}a_{ij}(x,t)u_{x_j},\quad k=1,\ldots,N, \tag{1} \] supplemented with the Dirichlet boundary conditions \(\vec{u}|_{S}=0\) and the initial condition \(\vec{u}|_{t=0}=\varphi(x)\), where \((x,t)\in Q=G\times (0,T)\), \(G\subset \mathbb R^n\), and \(\mu_k\) are bounded Borel measures absolutely continuous with respect to the parabolic capacity determined by the operator \(A_t\). The Caratheodory function \(f=(f^1,f^2, \ldots, f^N)\) satisfies the inequality \((f(x,t,\vec{u})-f(x,t,\vec{v}),\vec{u}-\vec{v})\leq \alpha \|\vec{u}-\vec{v}\|^2\) (\(\alpha\in \mathbb R\)). The operator \(A_t\) is uniformly elliptic and has bounded measurable coefficients. The notion of a solution to this problem generalizes the notion of an entropy solution. Existence and uniqueness theorems are proven and the asymptotic behavior of solution as \(t\to \infty\) is exposed. The arguments involved are those of the theory of stochastic differential equations.
