Smoothing for Nonlinear Parabolic Equations with Nonlinear Boundary Conditions by Gisele Goldstein, LSU JTB 110, 4:15pm Tuesday, February 20, 1996 Abstract Of concern are parabolic problems on a finite time domain [0,T] with spatial variable x in a domain $\Omega$ in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The problem treats initial data u(x,0)=f(x) integrable in $\Omega$. The objective is to find solutions u(x,t) which are bounded for fixed T. Detailed estimates are obtained for the maximum norm of u(x,t) in $\Omega$ and the Hilbert space norm of its t-derivative. These estimates bound the norm in terms of f(x) and powers of 1/t, for all dimensions n. Requests for preprints and reprints: schmitt@math.utah.edu, Reference: Gisele Goldstein.
