The author demonstrates how this method can be utilized as a convenient tool for proving the existence of these solutions when others may fail, such as in cases of evolution equations with nonautonomous operators, with low regular data, or with singular diffusion coefficients. By reducing it to a minimization problem, the original problem is transformed into an optimal control problem with a linear state equation. This procedure simplifies the proof of the existence of minimizers and, in particular, the determination of the first-order conditions of optimality. The dual variational formulation is illustrated in the text with specific diffusion equations that have general nonlinearities provided by potentials having various stronger or weaker properties. These equations can represent mathematical models to various real-world physical processes. Inverse problems and optimal control problems are also considered, as this technique is useful in their treatment as well.PNLDE Subseries in Control,2731-7374 ;102Burgers equationDifferential equations, NonlinearEquacions diferencials no linealsthubLlibres electrònicsthubBurgers equation.Differential equations, Nonlinear.Equacions diferencials no lineals260Marinoschi Gabriela517203MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910686790303321Dual Variational Approach to Nonlinear Diffusion Equations3087616UNINA
