Abstract

An existence result of a renormalized solution for a class of non- linear parabolic equations in Orlicz spaces is proved. No growth assumption is made on the nonlinearities.

Summary

Introduction

In this paper we consider the following problem:. u = 0 on ∂Ω × (0, T ), where Ω is a bounded open subset of RN and T > 0, Q = Ω × (0, T ). The function Φ is just assumed to be continuous on R Under these assumptions, the above problem does not admit, in general, a weak solution since the fields a(x, t, u, ∇u) and Φ(u) do not belong in (L1loc(Q)N in general. Redwane [34, 35] in the case where Au = −div a(x, t, u, ∇u) is a Leray-Lions operator defined on Lp(0, T ; W01,p(Ω)), the existence of renormalized solution in Orlicz spaces has been proved in E. Note that here we extend the results in [34, 32] in three different directions: we assume b(x, u) depend on x , and the growth of a(x, t, u, ∇u) is not controlled with respect to u and we prove the existence in Orlicz spaces.
