On Lipschitz solutions for some forward-backward parabolic equations. II: The case against Fourier (Q2403763)

Following the authors' recent result: [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Anal. Non Linéaire 35, No. 1, 65--100 (2018; Zbl 1378.35153)], further investigation of the initial boundary value problem \[ u_t=\operatorname{div}(A(Du)) \] in \(\Omega_T\) is performed where \[ A(Du)\cdot n=0 \] on \(\partial \Omega\times (0,T)\) and \[ u=u_0 \] on \(\Omega\times \{t=0\}\) and \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n\), \(n\geq 1\) is a bounded domain, \(T > 0\) is any fixed number, \(\Omega_T= \Omega\times (0, T )\), \(n\) is the outer unit normal on \(\partial \Omega\), \(u_0 = u_0(x)\) is a given initial datum, and \(A = A(p): \mathbb R^n \to\mathbb R^n\) is the diffusion flux of the evolution process. Here, \(u = u(x, t)\) is the density of some quantity at position \(x\) and time \(t\), with \(Du = (u_{x_{1}},\dots,u_{x_{n}})\) and \(u_t\) denoting its spatial gradient and rate of change, respectively. The existence and properties of Lipschitz solutions with diffusion fluxes violating Fourier's inequality are studied.
