Existence and Uniqueness of Weak Solutions to the $p$-Biharmonic Parabolic Equation

Abstract

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a $p$-biharmonic parabolic equation. Under some assumptions on the initial value, we construct approximate solutions by the discrete-time method. By means of uniform estimates on solutions of the time-difference equations, we establish the existence of weak solutions, and also discuss the uniqueness.
