Semi linear parabolic equations with nonlinear general Wentzell boundary conditions

Abstract

Let $A$ be a uniformly elliptic operator in divergence form with bounded coefficients.We show that on a bounded domain $Ω ⊂ \mathbb{R}^N$ with Lipschitz continuous boundary $∂Ω$, a realization of $Au-\beta_1(x,u)$ in $C(\bar{Ω})$ with the nonlinear general Wentzell boundary conditions $[Au-\beta_1(x,u)]|_{∂Ω}-\Delta_\Gamma u+\partial_\nu^au+\beta_2(x,u)= 0$ on $∂Ω$ generates a strongly continuous nonlinear semigroup on $C(\bar{Ω})$. Here, $\partial_\nu^au$ is the conormal derivative of $u$, and $\beta_1(x,\cdot)$ ($x \in Ω$), $\beta_2(x,\cdot)$ ($x \in ∂Ω$) are continuous on $\mathbb{R}$ satisfying a certain growth condition.
