Uniqueness and non-uniqueness of solutions to quasilinear parabolic equations with a singular coefficient on weighted Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

We study, on weighted Riemannian model manifolds, well posedness of the Cauchy problem for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations with a coefficient which can be singular at infinity. We establish uniqueness or non-uniqueness of bounded solutions, under suitable assumptions on the behavior at infinity of the singular coefficient and on the Green function for the weighted Laplace–Beltrami operator.
