A convergence proof is given for an abstract parabolic equation using general space decomposition techniques. The space decomposition technique may be a domain decomposition method, a multilevel method, or a multigrid method. It is shown that if the Euler or Crank-Nicolson scheme is used for the par

Sharp estimates are given for the constants appearing in both the smoothing effect of general self-adjoint contraction semi-groups and uniform estimates for the linear heat equation. The last estimate is used to prove rather sharp global existence results for some nonlinear perturbations and suitabl
## Abstract We study the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear parabolic equation magnified image where __p__ > 1 is a parameter and ψ is a smooth, bounded function on (1, ∞) with − ⩽ __s__ψ′(__s__)/ψ(__s__) ⩽ θ for some θ > 0. If 1 < __p__ < 1 + 2/__N__, there are no global positive solutions, wherea
