Consider the initial-boundary value problem \(u_t=(g(| \nabla u| ^2)u_{x_i})_{x_i}\), \(x\in\Omega\), \(t>0\), with \(u(x,0)=f(x)\), \(x\in\Omega\), and \(u(x,t)=0\), \(x\in\partial\Omega\), \(t>0\), where \(\Omega\) is a bounded region in \(\mathbb{R}^N\). The authors assume that \(g\) is a \(C^2\) function such that \(g(s)+2sg'(s)>0\), for all \(s\geq 0\). They show that, if \(u\) is a classical solution of the problem and \(\partial\Omega\) is a \(C^{2+\varepsilon}\) surface whose average curvature at each point is nowhere negative, explicit decay bound for \(u\) and its gradient in terms of initial data can be proved.
