Abstract

Provided the non-negative function g∈Lloc1(Ω) allows for a generalized Hardy-Sobolev inequality, existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions of the possibly degenerate parabolic PDE g(x)u·=Δu, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, is proved. The maximum/minimum principle holds. The associated entropy decays exponentially as t ↑ ∞ with a rate not exceeding 2/C, where C is the constant arising in the generalized Hardy-Sobolev inequality.
