Abstract

We study a general nonlinear parabolic equation on a Lipschitz bounded domain in ,

with and . The growth of the monotone vector field is controlled by a generalized fully anisotropic -function inhomogeneous in time and space, and under no growth restrictions on the last variable. It results in the need of the integration by parts formula which has to be formulated in an advanced way. Existence and uniqueness of solutions are proven when the Musielak–Orlicz space is reflexive OR in absence of Lavrentiev's phenomenon. To ensure approximation properties of the space we impose natural assumption that the asymptotic behaviour of the modular function is sufficiently balanced. Its instances are log-Hölder continuity of variable exponent or optimal closeness condition for powers in double phase spaces.

The noticeable challenge of this paper is considering the problem in non-reflexive and inhomogeneous fully anisotropic space that changes along time.
