Uniqueness for an elliptic-parabolic problem with Neumann boundary condition

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Evolution Equations and Related Topics

Abstract

We consider the problem \( b\left( u \right) - \Delta u + div F\left( u \right) = f\) in a smooth bounded domain \( \Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^N}\), as well as the corresponding evolution equation \( b{\left( u \right)_t} - \Delta u + div F\left( u \right) = f\), \( b\left( {u\left( {0,.} \right)} \right) = {b^0}.\). For the stationary equation we show existence results, then we adapt the techniques of doubling of variables to the case of the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and obtain the appropriate L 1-contraction principle and uniqueness. Subsequently, we are able to apply the nonlinear semigroup theory and prove the L 1 -contraction principle for the associated evolution equation.
