Existence and decay of global solutions of some nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations. (English) Zbl 0584.35062
The paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem: $u_ t-\Delta (| u|^ mu)+\nabla \cdot (g_ 1(u),g_ 2(u),...,g_ n(u))+h(u)=0\quad on\quad \Omega \times R^+,\quad u(x,0)=u_ 0,\quad u|_{\partial \Omega}=0,$ where $$m\geq 0$$, $$\Omega$$ is a bounded domain of $$R^ n$$ with smooth boundary $$\partial \Omega$$. Its object is to show that a modified method of potential well can be applied, and a global solution exists if the initial value $$u_ 0$$ is small in a certain sense; a decay estimate of such solutions as t tends to infinity is also derived. A uniqueness result is given for $$m=0$$.
