The properties of the solution for the Cauchy problem of a double nonlinear time-dependent parabolic equation in non-divergence form with a source or absorption

Abstract

This paper studies the properties of solutions for a double nonlinear time-dependent parabolic equation with variable density, not in divergence form with a source or absorption. The problem is formulated as a partial differential equation with a nonlinear term that depends on the solution and time. The main results are the existence of weak solutions in suitable function spaces; regularity and positivity of solutions; asymptotic behavior of solutions as time goes to infinity; comparison principles and maximum principles for solutions. The proofs are based on comparison methods and asymptotic techniques. Some examples and applications are also given to illustrate the features of the problem.
