A Strong Minimum principle and Large Time Asymptotics for viscosity solutions to a class of doubly nonlinear possibly degenerate parabolic equations

Abstract

We study a version of the strong minimum principle, and large time asymptotics of positive viscosity solutions to classes of doubly nonlinear parabolic equations of the form $$ H(Du,D^2u)-u^{k-1}u_t=0,\;\;k\geq 1,\quad\mbox{in $Ω\times [0,T)$},$$ where $\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$ is a bounded domain and $0<T\le \infty$. The spatial operator $H$ is homogeneous with power $k$.
