Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate the uniqueness and existence of local solutions for the boundary value problem of a quasilinear parabolic equation. The result is obtained via the abstract theory of maximal regularity. Applications are given to some model problems in nonstationary radiative heat transfer and reaction-diffusion equation with nonlocal boundary flux conditions.
