Continuous dependence of solutions to a fourth order evolution equation

Abstract

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a fourth-order nonlinear parabolic equation with constant coefficients. Our primary focus lies in establishing a priori estimates for the solution to this equation, with a particular emphasis on its continuous dependence on both the initial data and parameters. Using energy estimates, we establish the continuous dependency for both the solution and its gradient concerning the fourth-order nonlinear parabolic equation.
