Harnack estimates for weak supersolutions to nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations

Tuomo Kuusi (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

In this work we prove both local and global Harnack estimates for weak supersolutions to second order nonlinear degenerate parabolic partial differential equations in divergence form. We reduce the proof to an analysis of so-called hot and cold alternatives, and use the expansion of positivity together with a parabolic type of covering argument. Our proof uses only the properties of weak supersolutions. In particular, no comparison to weak solutions is needed.

Weak Solutions for a Fourth Order Degenerate Parabolic Equation

Changchun Liu, Jinyong Guo (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a fourth order degenerate parabolic equation. Under some assumptions on the initial value, we establish the existence of weak solutions by the discrete-time method. The asymptotic behavior and the finite speed of propagation of perturbations of solutions are also discussed.
