Sookmyung Women's University

Abstract

The Cauchy problem for degenerate parabolic equations with absorption is studied. We prove the existence of a fundamental solution. Also a Harnack type inequality is established and the existence and uniqueness of initial trace for nonnegative solutions is shown.

Keywords: initial trace, degenerate parabolic equation, absorption, Harnack inequality
