A Continuous Dependence Result for Nonlinear Degenerate Parabolic Equations with Spatially Dependent Flux Function

Steinar Evje, Kenneth Hvistendahl Karlsen, and Nils Henrik Risebro


Abstract: We study entropy solutions of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations of form $u_t + \Div \bigl(k(x)f(u)\bigr) = \Delta A(u)$, where $k(x)$ is a vector-valued function and $f(u),A(u)$ are scalar functions. We prove a result concerning the continuous dependence on the initial data, the flux function $k(x)f(u)$, and the diffusion function $A(u)$. This paper complements previous work \cite{KR:Rough_Unique} by two of the authors, which contained a continuous dependence result concerning the initial data and the flux function $k(x)f(u)$.
