Abstract

In this paper we establish the existence of Lipschitz-continuous solutions to the Cauchy Dirichlet problem of evolutionary partial differential equations

The only assumptions needed are the convexity of the generating function , and the classical bounded slope condition on the initial and the lateral boundary datum . We emphasize that no growth conditions are assumed on and that – an example which does not enter in the elliptic case could be any Lipschitz initial and boundary datum, vanishing at the boundary , and the boundary may contain flat parts, for instance could be a rectangle in .
