Fully nonlinear parabolic boundary value problems in one space dimension. I (Q756010)

This paper is devoted to the fully nonlinear equation \(\partial u/\partial t=F(x,u,\partial u/\partial x\), \(\partial^ 2u/\partial x^ 2)\) with the initial condition \(u(x,0)=u_ 0(x)\) and nonlinear Robin boundary condition \((\partial u/\partial x)(0,t)\in \beta_ 0(u(0,t))\), \((-\partial u/\partial x)(1,t)\in \beta_ 1(u(1,t))\), where \(t\geq 0\), \(x\in [0,1]\) and \(\beta_ 1,\beta_ 2\) are maximal monotone graphs in \({\mathbb{R}}\times {\mathbb{R}}\) with \(0\in \beta_ 0(0)\cap \beta_ 1(0)\). The main result shows that the right-hand side of the considered equation (with the boundary condition) can be visualized as an m-dissipative operator on C[0,1], so the Crandall-Liggett theorem works.
