| Summary:
             | 
We prove existence of weak solutions to doubly degenerate diffusion equations \begin {equation*} \dot {u} = \Delta _p u^{m-1} + f \quad (m,p \ge 2) \end {equation*} by Faedo-Galerkin approximation for general domains and general nonlinearities. More precisely, we discuss the equation in an abstract setting, which allows to choose function spaces corresponding to bounded or unbounded domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. The function  $f$ can be an inhomogeneity or a nonlinearity involving terms of the form  $f(u)$ or $\div (F(u))$. In the appendix, an introduction to weak differentiability of functions with values in a Banach space appropriate for doubly nonlinear evolution equations is given. (English) |
