Strongly anisotropic Anzellotti pairings and their applications to the anisotropic $p$-Laplacian

Abstract

In this paper, we study the parabolic and elliptic problems related to the anisotropic $p$-Laplacian operator in the case when it has linear growth on some of the coordinates. In order to define properly a notion of weak solutions and prove their existence, we first construct an anisotropic analogue of Anzellotti pairings and prove a weak Gauss-Green formula which relates the newly constructed pairing with a normal trace of a sufficiently regular vector field.
