Abstract

We prove some results on the global existence of smooth solutions for certain nonlinear parabolic systems of the form Ut + A(U)Ux = DUxx. Here U is a vector and A(U), D are matrices with D a constant, positive matrix. We show how to use our results to study the global continuous (or generalised) solutions to the corresponding nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws and a conjecture is given.
