%0 Journal Article %T On quasilinear parabolic evolution equations in weighted $L_p$-spaces %A Matthias K£¿hne %A Jan Pruess %A Mathias Wilke %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X In this paper we develop a geometric theory for quasilinear parabolic problems in weighted $L_p$-spaces. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions as well as the continuous dependence on the initial data. Moreover, we make use of a regularization effect for quasilinear parabolic equations to study the $\om$-limit sets and the long-time behaviour of the solutions. These techniques are applied to a free boundary value problem. The results in this paper are mainly based on maximal regularity tools in (weighted) $L_p$-spaces. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.1480v1
