An evolution equation involving the normalized $P$-Laplacian

 1 Mathematisches Institut, Universität zu Köln, 50923 Köln, Germany

Received  February 2010 Revised  May 2010 Published  November 2010

This paper considers an initial-boundary value problem for the evolution equation associated with the normalized $p$-Laplacian. There exists a unique viscosity solution $u,$ which is globally Lipschitz continuous with respect to $t$ and locally with respect to $x.$ Moreover, we study the long time behavior of the viscosity solution $u$ and compute numerical solutions of the problem.
