Abstract

We establish the existence of Lipschitz continuous solutions to the Cauchy Dirichlet problem for a class of evolutionary partial differential equations of the form tudivxξf(u)=0 \partial_tu-\text{div}_x \nabla_\xi f(\nabla u)=0 in a space-time cylinder ΩT=Ω×(0,T)\Omega_T=\Omega\times (0,T), subject to time-dependent boundary data g ⁣:PΩTRg\colon \partial_{\mathcal{P}}\Omega_T\to \mathbf{R} prescribed on the parabolic boundary. The main novelty in our analysis is a time-dependent version of the classical bounded slope condition, imposed on the boundary data gg along the lateral boundary Ω×(0,T)\partial\Omega\times (0,T). More precisely, we require that for each fixed t[0,T)t\in [0,T), the graph of g(,t)g(\cdot ,t) over Ω\partial\Omega admits supporting hyperplanes with slopes that may vary in time but remain uniformly bounded. The key to handling time-dependent data lies in constructing more flexible upper and lower barriers.
