AbstractWe study a quasilinear parabolic equation of forward-backward type, under assumptions on the nonlinearity which hold for a wide class of mathematical models, using a pseudo-parabolic regularization of power type. We prove existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of the regularized problem in a space of Radon measures. It is shown that these solutions satisfy suitable entropy inequalities. We also study their qualitative properties, in particular proving that the singular part of the solution with respect to the Lebesgue measure is constant in time.

We study the quasilinear parabolic equation $(|u|^{q-1}u)_t-\Delta_p\,u=0$ in a multidimensional domain $(0,T)\times\Omega$ under the condition $u(t,x)=f(t,x)$ on $(0,T)\times\partial\Omega$, where the boundary function $f$ blows-up at a finite time $T$, i.e., $f(t,x)\rightarrow\infty$ as $t\rightarrow T$. For $p\geqslant q>0$ and the boundary function $f$ with power-like behavior, the upper bounds of weak solutions of the problem are obtained. The behavior of solutions at the transition from the case where $p>q$ to $p=q$ is investigated. A general approach within the method of energy estimates to such problems is described.

We consider non-negative solutions of the Cauchy problem for quasilinear parabolic equations ut = Δum + f(u), where m > 1 and f(ξ) is a positive function in ξ > 0 satisfying f(0) = 0 and a blow-up conditionWe show that if ξm+2/N /(−log ξ)β = O(f(ξ)) as ξ ↓ 0 for some 0 < β < 2/(mN + 2), one of the following holds: (i) all non-trivial solutions blow up in finite time; (ii) every non-trivial solution with an initial datum u0 having compact support exists globally in time and grows up to ∞ as t → ∞: limtt→∞ inf|x|<Ru(x, t) = ∞ for any R > 0. Moreover, we give a condition on f such that (i) holds, and show the existence of f such that (ii) holds.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Recently, the authors proved [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>] that the Maxwell-Stefan system with an incompressibility-like condition on the total flux can be rigorously derived from the multi-species Boltzmann equation. Similar cross-diffusion models have been widely investigated, but the particular case of a perturbative incompressible setting around a non constant equilibrium state of the mixture (needed in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b2">2</xref>]) seems absent of the literature. We thus establish a quantitative perturbative Cauchy theory in Sobolev spaces for it. More precisely, by reducing the analysis of the Maxwell-Stefan system to the study of a quasilinear parabolic equation on the sole concentrations and with the use of a suitable anisotropic norm, we prove global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions and their exponential trend to equilibrium in a perturbative regime around any macroscopic equilibrium state of the mixture. As a by-product, we show that the equimolar diffusion condition naturally appears from this perturbative incompressible setting.</p>

In this paper we consider a quasilinear parabolic equation in a bounded domain under periodic Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our main goal is to prove the existence of extremal solutions among all solutions lying in a sector formed by appropriately defined upper and lower solutions. The main tools used in the proof of our result are recently obtained abstract results on nonlinear evolution equations, comparison and truncation techniques and suitably constructed special testfunction.
