Resumen

We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for the Dirichlet problem for quasilinear parabolic equations in divergent form for which the energy functional has linear growth. A typical example of energy functional we consider is the one given by the nonparametric area integrand f(x,ξ)=√1+∥ξ∥2, which corresponds with the time-dependent minimal surface equation. We also study the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions.
