Cauchy problem and initial trace for a doubly degenerate parabolic equation with strongly nonlinear sources.
(English)
[J] J. Math. Anal. Appl. 264, No.1, 49-67 (2001). ISSN 0022-247X

Let $S_T=\bbfR^N\times (0,T)$, $N\ge 1$ and $T>0$. The author investigates in $S_T$ the Cauchy problem for the equation $u_t=\operatorname {div}(|Du^m|^{p-2}Du^m)+u^q$ with the initial condition $u(x,0)=u_0(x)$. Here $p>1$, $m>0$, $m(p-1)>1$, $q>1$, and $u_0$ is locally integrable in $\bbfR^N$. Of course, for $m=1$ we have the familiar evolution $p$-Laplacian equation, and for $p=2$ we have the porous media equation. The Cauchy problem for the general case is investigated for a large class of initial conditions. To describe this class, the following norm is defined for $h\ge 1$. $|||f|||_h=\sup_{x\in \bbfR^N}\|f\|_h(B_1(x))$. Here, $\|.\|_h$ represents the usual norm in $L^h(B_1(x))$, where $B_1(x)$ denotes the unit ball centered at $x$ in $\bbfR^N$. The first result is the following. Assume $u_0\ge 0$, $|||u_0|||_h<\infty$, where $h=1$ if $q<m(p-1)+p/N$ and $h>(N/p)(q-m(p-1))$ otherwise. Then there is a constant $T_0>0$ depending on the data such that a solution $u(x,t)$ exists in $S_{T_0}$. Quantitative bounds for the solution and results involving a supersolution are obtained. Also the problem of uniqueness is discussed.
