Apart from ellipticity nothing is required of $H$ at points at which $|D^{2}v|\\leq K$, where $K$ is any fixed constant. For large $|D^{2}v|$ some kind of relaxed convexity assumption with respect to $D^{2}v$ mixed with a VMO condition with respect to $t,x$ are still imposed. The solutions are sought in Sobolev classes. We also establish the solvability without almost any conditions on $H$, apart from ellipticity, but of a \"cut-off\" version of the equation $\\partial_{t}u+H(v,Dv,D^{2}v,t,x)=0$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-05T21:18:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35K55", "35K20" ], "keywords": [ "fully nonlinear parabolic equations", "convexity assumption", "fully nonlinear parabolic second-order equations", "smooth cylinders", "second-order derivatives" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
