Existence of extremal periodic solutions for quasilinear parabolic equations

In this paper we consider a quasilinear parabolic equation in a bounded domain under periodic Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our main goal is to prove the existence of extremal solutions among all solutions lying in a sector formed by appropriately defined upper and lower solutions. The main tools u...
