This is the case that p≥ 2. The case that p > 1 but p < 2 is easier. In this case,

)A similar inequality holds. Thus the necessary growth condition is obtained for Gµ andconsequently, the necessary growth condition remains valid for Gµ +A. It was noted earlierthat the coercivity estimate continues to hold.

It follows that there exists a solution to the integral equation

Bu(t,ω)+∫ t

0z(s,ω)ds+

∫ t

0Gµ (u(s,ω))ds =

∫ t

0f (s,ω)ds+Bu0 (ω)

where z(·,ω) ∈ A(u(·,ω) ,ω) which has the measurability described above. That is, bothu and z are product measurable. Then acting on uX[0,t] and using the estimates valid for λ

large enough, one can get an estimate of the form

12⟨Bu,u⟩(t)− 1

(77.8.82)Now Gµ is monotone and so,⟨

Gµ u,u⟩=⟨Gµ u−Gµ 0,u

⟩+⟨Gµ (0) ,u

⟩≥⟨Gµ (0) ,u

⟩≥−|G(0)|∥u∥

It follows easily from standard manipulations and 77.8.82 that ∥u∥V is bounded indepen-dent of µ . That is, there is a constant C independent of µ such that

∥u∥V ≤C (77.8.83)

The details follow. The above inequality 77.8.82 implies that by acting on uX[0,t],

12⟨Bu,u⟩(t)− 1

2⟨Bu0,u0⟩+

∫ t

0∥u(s)∥p

V ds−∫ t

0|G(0)|∥u∥V ds≤ λ

∫ t

0⟨Bu,u⟩ds+C ( f )

Then by Gronwall’s inequality and adjusting constants,

⟨Bu,u⟩(t)+∫ t

0∥u(s)∥p

V ds≤C (u0, f ,λ )+C (λ )∫ t

0|G(0)|∥u∥V ds (77.8.84)

so it is clear that there is an inequality of the form

supt∈[0,T ]

⟨Bu,u⟩(t)+∫ T

0∥u(s)∥p

V ds≤C (u0, f ,λ )
