Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions to Nonlinear Evolution Equations with Locally Monotone Operators

arXiv:1011.0562 · doi:10.1016/j.na.2011.08.018

Abstract

In this paper we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear evolution equations on Banach space with locally monotone operators, which is a generalization of the classical result by J.L. Lions for monotone operators. In particular, we show that local monotonicity implies the pseudo-monotonicity. The main result is applied to various types of PDE such as reaction-diffusion equations, generalized Burgers equation, Navier-Stokes equation, 3D Leray- model and -Laplace equation with non-monotone perturbations.
