Some applications of parabolic comparison principles to the study of decay estimates
C.-P. Danet


Abstract.  This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solutions of general nonlinear parabolic equations. We consider a boundary value problem which was treated by Reynolds in a classical paper (J. Diff. Equations 12 (1972), 256-261). Our goal is to prove by different means a version of the main result in the above mentioned paper. We also point out that it remains valid under some weaker hypotheses if the working domain is cylindrical.

Keywords. Comparison principles, decay estimates.  

AMS Subject classification.  35B40.
