Existence of solutions for anisotropic parabolic Ni-Serrin type equations originated from a capillary phenomena with nonstandard growth nonlinearity

Abstract

We consider an initial boundary value problem for a class of anisotropic parabolic Ni-Serrin type equations with nonstandard nonlinearity in a bounded smooth domain with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Because the nonlinear perturbation leads to difficulties (it does not have a definite sign) in obtaining a priori estimates in the energy method, we had to modify the Tartar method significantly. Under suitable assumptions, we obtain the global existence, decay and extinction of solutions.
