A problem with mixed boundary conditions for a quasilinear parabolic equation (Q760594)

The estimate for \(t\to \infty\) of weak solutions of the quasi-linear parabolic equation \(\partial u/\partial t=div (A(t,x,u,D_ xu)D_ xu)+f(t,x,u,D_ xu)\) in \(H=G\times [0,\infty [\) with boundary conditions \(u|_ E=0\), \(\partial u/\partial \nu |_{S-E}=0\) and the initial condition \(u|_{t=0}=\phi (x)\) is deduced. (Here \(G\subset {\mathbb{R}}^ n\) is a bounded domain with a smooth boundary, \(S=\partial G\times [0,\infty [,\) \(E\subset S\) is closed in S, \(\partial /\partial \nu\) is the derivative with respect to the co-normal, \(\phi \in L_ 2(G)\), A symmetric). It is supposed that there exists a positive function \(\alpha\) (t) such that \((A(t,x,u,p)\xi,\xi)\geq \alpha (t)| \xi |^ 2,\) \(-f(t,x,u,p)\leq \alpha (t)p^ 2.\) Denote by \(G_ T\) and \(E_ T\) the sets \(H\times \{t=T\}\), \(E\times \{t=T\}\), respectively. The author proves that under the conditions described above (and some other conditions of regularity of f and A) there exist constants K, k such that the weak solution of the problem is estimated as \[ \| u\|_{L_ 2(G_ T)}\leq K \exp [-k\int^{T}_{0}\alpha (t)cap E_ tdt] \] for each T positive.
