Implicit parabolic differential equations

Let QT = ω x (0, T), where ω is a bounded domain in ℝn (n ≥ 3) having the cone property and T is a positive real number; let Y be a nonempty, closed connected and locally connected subset of ℝh; let f be a real-valued function defined in QT × ℝh × ℝnh × Y; let ℒ be a linear, second order, parabolic operator. In this paper we establish the existence of strong solutions [formula omitted] (n + 2 ≤ p < + ∞) to the implicit parabolic differential equation [formula omitted] with the homogeneus Cauchy-Dirichlet conditions where u = (u1, u2, …, uh), Dxu = (Dxu1, Dxu2, …, Dxuh), Lu = (ℒu1, ℒu2, … ℒuh). © 1995, Australian Mathematical Society.
