Abstract

We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Dirichlet problem for quasilinear parabolic equations in divergent form for which the energy functional has linear growth. A typical example of energy functional we consider is the one given by the nonparametric area integrand , which corresponds with the time-dependent minimal surface equation. We also study the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions.
