## $$L_ \infty$$-estimate for qualitatively bounded weak solutions of nonlinear degenerate diagonal parabolic systems.(English)Zbl 0867.35055

We show only boundedness of qualitatively bounded weak solutions to the following Dirichlet problem for a diagonal parabolic system $u_{it}-\text{div}(a_i(x,t,u,\nabla u)\cdot\nabla u_i)=b_i(x,t,u,\nabla u)\text{ in }\Omega^T,\quad u_i|_{t=0}=u_{0i}\text{ in }\Omega,\quad u_i=u_{bi}\text{ on }S^T,$ where $$i=1,\dots,m$$, $$\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$$, $$\Omega^T=\Omega\times(0,T)$$, $$S^T=S\times(0,T)$$, $$S$$ is the boundary of $$\Omega$$, and dot denotes the scalar product in $$\mathbb{R}^n$$. We assume the following growth conditions $a_i(x,t,u,\nabla u)\cdot\nabla u_i\cdot \nabla u_i \geq\alpha_0|\nabla u|^{p-2}|\nabla u_i|^2-\varphi_{1i}(x,t),$
$b_i(x,t,u,\nabla u)\leq\beta_0|\nabla u|^{p-2}|\nabla u_i|^2+\varphi_{2i}(x,t),$ where $$i=1,\dots,m$$, $$\alpha_0$$, $$\beta_0$$ are positive constants, and $$\varphi_{1i}$$, $$\varphi_{2i}$$ are positive functions.
