On uniqueness of large solutions of nonlinear parabolic equations in nonsmooth domains
Abstract
Description
We study the existence and uniqueness of the positive solutions of the problem (P): $\partial_tu-Δu+u^q=0$ ($q>1$) in $Ω\times (0,\infty)$, $u=\infty$ on $\partialΩ\times (0,\infty)$ and $u(.,0)\in L^1(Ω)$, when $Ω$ is a bounded domain in $\mathbb R^N$. We construct a maximal solution, prove that this maximal solution is a large solution whenever $q<N/(N-2)$ and it is unique if $\partialΩ=\partial\barΩ^c$. If $\partialΩ$ has the local graph property, we prove that there exists at most one solution to problem (P)
