Discontinuous reaction-diffusion equations under discontinuous and nonlocal flux conditions (Q5931731)

We consider a quasilinear parabolic equation with discontinuous source term in a bounded cylindrical domain under nonlocal and discontinuous flux conditions. Our main goal is to prove the existence of extremal solutions with a sector formed by appropriately defined upper and lower solutions. The main tools used in the proof of our result are recently obtained abstract results on nonlinear evolution equations, an abstract fixed point result in partially ordered sets, compact embeddings, comparison, and truncation techniques.
