Existence of a renormalized solution of nonlinear parabolic equations with general measure data

Abstract

In this paper we prove the existence of a renormalized solution for nonlinear parabolic equations of the type:$$\displaystyle{\partial b(x,u)\over\partial t} - {\rm div}\Big(a(x,t,\nabla u)\Big)=\mu\qquad \text{in}\ \Omega\times (0,T),$$ where the right handside is a general measure, $b(x,u)$ is anunbounded function of $u$ and $- {\rm div}(a(x,t,\nabla u))$is a Leray--Lions type operator with growth $|\nabla u|^{p-1}$ in$\nabla u$.
