Abstract

We prove in this paper an existence result of entropy solutions for nonlinear parabolic equations of the form:

$$\begin{aligned} \displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}-{\text {div}}\, a(x,t,u,\nabla u)-\mathrm{div}\Phi (x,t,u)= f \quad \text {in }{Q_T=\Omega \times (0,T)}, \end{aligned}$$

where the lower order term \(\Phi \) satisfies only a natural growth condition prescribed by the N-function M defining the Orlicz spaces framework and the data f are an element of \(L^1(Q_T)\). We do not assume any restriction neither on M nor on its complementary \(\overline{M}\). No particular growth is considered on \(\Phi \).
