Renormalized solutions of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations. (Solutions renormalisées d’équations paraboliques à deux non linéarités.) (French. Abridged English version) Zbl 0810.35038
Results about existence, uniqueness and comparison are established for renormalized solutions of the following class of doubly nonlinear parabolic initial boundary value problems: $\partial_ t b(u)- \Delta u+ \text{div } \Phi(u)=f \quad \text{in } \Omega\times (0,T),$
$u=0 \quad \text{on } \partial\Omega\times (0,T), \qquad b(u)|_{t=0} =b(u_ 0) \quad \text{in } \Omega.$ Here $$\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^ N$$ is bounded and open, $$b$$ is a strictly increasing $$C^ 1$$-function on an open interval $$I$$ with $$b(I)= \mathbb{R}$$ and $$b(0)=0$$, $$b^{-1}: \mathbb{R}\to I$$ and $$\Phi: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}^ N$$ are continuous, $$u_ 0$$ is a measurable function such that $$b(u_ 0)\in L^ 1(\Omega)$$, and $$f\in L^ 1(\Omega\times (0,T))$$.
