The Continuous Dependence on psi of Solutions of u sub t - (delta)psi(u) = O.

Abstract

The initial-value problem for equations of the form u sub t - (delta)psi(u) = O where psi:R approaches R is nondecreasing arises in many contexts. The main results of this paper concern the continuity of the solutions of this initial-value problem as a function of psi. Depending on the behavior of psi near zero, one finds either that the solutions are continuous as a function of psi or into a weaker space. A variety of auxiliary results are proved and the sharpness of the condition which distinguishes between the above cases is established. (Author)
