Nonlinear parabolic problems in Musielak--Orlicz spaces

Abstract

Our studies are directed to the existence of weak solutions to a parabolic problem containing a multi-valued term. The problem is formulated in the language of maximal monotone graphs. We assume that the growth and coercivity conditions of a nonlinear term are prescribed by means of time and space dependent $N$--function. This results in formulation of the problem in generalized Musielak-Orlicz spaces. We are using density arguments, hence an important step of the proof is a uniform boundedness of appropriate convolution operators in Musielak-Orlicz spaces. For this purpose we shall need to assume a kind of logarithmic H\"older regularity with respect to $t$ and $x$.Comment: 33 page
