Abstract:

In this paper we establish three global in time results for two fourth order nonlinear parabolic equations. The first of such equations involves the Hessian and appears in epitaxial growth. For such equation we give conditions ensuring the global existence of solution. For certain regime of the parameters, our size condition involves the norm in a critical space with respect to the scaling of the equation and improves previous existing results in the literature for this equation. The second of the equations under study is a thin film equation with a porous medium nonlinearity. For this equation we establish conditions leading to the global existence of solution.
