Abstract

We consider a second-order nonlinear degenerate anisotropic parabolic equation in the case when the flux vector is only continuous and the nonnegative diffusion matrix is bounded and measurable. The concepts of entropy sub- and supersolution of the Cauchy problem are introduced, so that the entropy solution of this problem, understood in the sense of Chen-Perthame, is both an entropy sub- and supersolution. It is established that the maximum of entropy subsolutions of the Cauchy problem is also an entropy subsolution of this problem. This result is used to prove the existence of the largest entropy subsolution (and the smallest entropy supersolution). It is also shown that the largest entropy subsolution and the smallest entropy supersolution are also entropy solutions.
