In this paper we deal with uniqueness of unbounded solutions to the following problem

$\begin{equation*}\begin{cases}\begin{array}{ll} u_t- \Delta_p u = H (t,x,\nabla u) &\text{in}\quad \ Q_T,\\\displaystyle u (t,x) = 0 & \text{on}\quad(0,T)\times \partial \Omega,\\ \displaystyle u(0,x) = u_0(x) &\text{in }\quad \Omega,\end{array}\end{cases}\end{equation*}$

where

$Q_T = (0, T)\times \Omega$

is the parabolic cylinder,

$\Omega$

is an open subset of

$\mathbb{R}^N$

,

$N\ge2$

,

$1 < p < N$

, and the right hand side

$\displaystyle H(t, x, \xi):(0, T)\times\Omega \times \mathbb{R}^N\to \mathbb{R}$

exhibits a superlinear growth with respect to the gradient term.

Keywords: Uniqueness, nonlinear parabolic equations, unbounded solutions, nonlinear lower order terms.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 35B51, 35K55, 35K61.
