The authors study existence, uniqueness and regularity of weak solutions to the following mixed initial-boundary value problem for semilinear parabolic operators of divergence form \[ \sum_{{i,j}}{\partial\over {\partial x_i}}\Bigl(a_{ij}{{\partial u}\over {\partial x_j}}\Bigr) + \sum_{{i}} b_i{{\partial u}\over {\partial x_i}} + c u-u_t=\beta(x,t,u)\quad \text{in } {\mathcal R}, \] \[ \sum_{{i,j}} a_{ij}{{\partial u}\over {\partial x_j}} \eta_i=0\quad \text{on }\partial_N{\mathcal R}, \qquad u=\phi\quad \text{on }\partial_D{\mathcal R}, \] where \({\mathcal R}\subset{{\mathbb R}}^N\times(0,T)\) is a bounded non-cylindrical space-time domain, \(\partial_N{\mathcal R}\) is an open subset of the parabolic boundary, \(\partial_p{\mathcal R}\), and \(\partial_D{\mathcal R}=\partial_p{\mathcal R}\setminus \partial_N{\mathcal R}\). That problem is of interest in combustion theory, where the non-cylindrical part of the lateral boundary may be considered as an approximation of the flame front.
