Abstract

We establish the existence of Lipschitz-continuous solutions to the Cauchy–Dirichlet problem for a class of evolutionary partial differential equations of the form \begin{equation*} \partial_tu-\Div_x \nabla_\xi f(\nabla u)=0 \end{equation*} in a space-time cylinder $\Omega_T=\Omega\times (0,T)$, subject to time-dependent boundary data $g\colon \partial_{\mathcal{P}}\Omega_T\to \R$ prescribed on the parabolic boundary. The main novelty in our analysis is a time-dependent version of the classical bounded slope condition, imposed on the boundary data $g$ along the lateral boundary $\partial\Omega\times (0,T)$. More precisely, we require that for each fixed $t\in [0,T)$, the graph of $g(\cdot ,t)$ over $\partial\Omega$ admits supporting hyperplanes with slopes that may vary in time but remain uniformly bounded. The key to handling time-dependent data lies in constructing more flexible upper and lower barriers.
