In this paper we shall be concerned with two problems: (i) the asymptotic behavior of solutions of parabolic inequalities and (ii) the uniqueness of the Cauchy problem for such inequalities when the data are prescribed on a portion of a time-like surface. The unifying feature of these rather separate problems is the employment of integral estimates of the same type in both cases.

We consider parabolic operators in self-adjoint form

(1)

as well as the non-self-adjoint operator

where the coefficients aij(x, t) = aij (x1, x2... , xn, t) are C1 functions of x and t and the bij= bij(x, t) are C2 functions of x and t.
