On the Cauchy problem for a generalized nonlinear heat equation
Keyword(s):
Abstract The paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear generalized heat equation which is related to the generalized Gauss–Weierstrass semigroup via Duhamel’s principle. For the initial data we assume that they belong to some fractional Sobolev spaces. We study the existence and uniqueness of mild and strong solutions which are local in time. Moreover, they are smooth functions and belong to Lebesgue spaces with respect to the space variable. We use both fixed point arguments and mapping properties of the generalized Gauss–Weierstrass semigroup. Finally, we study the well-posedness of the problem.
