A Monotone operator method for elliptic—parabolic equations (Q4951902)

The interesting paper under review presents a monotone-operator method for treating elliptic-parabolic problems of the type \[ m^2(x)u_t +\nabla_B^* A(x,t,\nabla_B u)=f\quad \text{in} \Omega\times {\mathbb R}, \qquad u=g\quad \text{on} \partial\Omega\times {\mathbb R}. \] Here \(\Omega\subset {\mathbb R}^n\) is an open set, \(\nabla_B^* A(x,t,\nabla_B u)\) is modeled on the weighted \(p\)-Laplacian and the data satisfy appropriate structural conditions. On the base of a monotone-operator method the author obtains new existence and uniqueness results for the above problem with low regularity source and boundary data.
