Abstract

We are interested in results concerning the solutions to the parabolic problems whose simplest model is the following:

\begin{cases}\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} - \Delta_p u (:= \operatorname{div} ({\lvert \nabla u \rvert}^{p-2} \nabla u)) + B \frac{{\lvert \nabla u \rvert}^p}{u} = f & \textrm{in} & (0, T) \times \Omega , \\u (0, x) = u_0 (x) & \textrm{in} & \Omega , \\u (t, x) = 0 & \textrm{on} & (0, T) \times \partial \Omega , \\\end{cases}

where $T\gt 0$, $N \geq 2$, $B \gt 0$, $u_0$ is a positive function in $L^{\infty} (\Omega)$ bounded away from zero, and $f$ is a nonnegative function that belongs to some Lebesgue space.
