First Boundary Value Problem for Cordes-Type Semilinear Parabolic Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients

Abstract

For a class of semilinear parabolic equations with discontinuous coefficients, the strong solvability of the Dirichlet problem is studied in this paper. The problem ∑i,j=1naijt,xuxixj−ut+gt,x,u=ft,x,uΓQT=0, in QT=Ω×0,T is the subject of our study, where Ω is bounded C2 or a convex subdomain of En+1,ΓQT=∂QT\∖t=T. The function gx,u is assumed to be a Caratheodory function satisfying the growth condition gt,x,u≤b0uq, for b0>0,q∈0,n+1/n−1,n≥2, and leading coefficients satisfy Cordes condition b0>0,q∈0,n+1/n−1,n≥2.
