Synopsis

The authors prove results on uniqueness and global existence of initial and boundary value problems for the nonlinear pseudoparabolic equation

with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. A salient feature of the paper is that F and its partial derivatives are allowed to be unbounded. In the special case b(x, t)= α2 (a positive constant), it is proved that the corresponding solution uα, under appropriate conditions on the data (which are satisfied, for example, by the Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation), uαu0 the solution corresponding to β = 0, on sufficiently small time interval. A result on the asymptotic behaviour of the solution is given for t → ∞.
