Existence of renormalized solutions to a nonlinear parabolic equation in L1 setting with nonstandard growth condition and gradient term

This paper is devoted to the study of a nonlinear parabolic p(x)‐Laplace equation with gradient term and L¹ data. The authors obtain the existence of renormalized solutions via strong convergence of truncation. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  

一类具梯度项和 源的抛物方程有界弱解的存在性

我们考虑了一类原型为$$\begin{cases}u_t-\Delta u=\overrightarrow{b}(x,t)\cdot\nabla u+\gamma|\nabla u|^2-\text{div}{\overrightarrow{F}(x,t)}+f(x,t), &(x,t)\in \Omega_T,\\ u(x,t)=0,&(x,t)\in\Gamma_T,\\ u(x,0)=u_0(x), &x\in\Omega,\end{cases}$$的一类抛物方程. 其中, 函数$|\overrightarrow{b}(x,t)|^2,|\overrightarrow{F}(x,t)|^2,f(x,t)$位于空间$L^r{(0,T;L^q(\Omega))}$, $\gamma$是一个正常数. 在源项和梯度的系数项在空间$L^r{(0,T;L^q(\Omega))}$具有合适的可积条件下, 本文的目的在于证明先验的$L^\infty$估计以及方程存在有界解. 主要的方法包括通过正则化建立扰动问题, 用非线性的检验函数实现Stampacchia迭代技术以及极限过程中的紧性论断.
