We present a theory of well-posedness and a priori estimates for bounded distributional (or very weak) solutions of

∂tu−Lσ,μ[φ(u)]=g(x,t)inRN×(0,T),(0.1)
where φ is merely continuous and nondecreasing, and Lσ,μ is the generator of a general symmetric Lévy process. This means that Lσ,μ can have both local and nonlocal parts like, e.g., Lσ,μ=Δ−(−Δ)12. New uniqueness results for bounded distributional solutions to this problem and the corresponding elliptic equation are presented and proven. A key role is played by a new Liouville type result for Lσ,μ. Existence and a priori estimates are deduced from a numerical approximation, and energy-type estimates are also obtained.

Nous montrons l'unicité, l'existence, et des estimations a priori pour des solutions distributionnelles bornées de (0.1), où φ est continue et croissante et Lσ,μ est le générateur d'un processus de Lévy symétrique général. Cela veut dire que Lσ,μ peut avoir des parties locales et non locales, comme par exemple Lσ,μ=Δ−(−Δ)12. Nous présentons et montrons des nouveaux résultats d'unicité pour des solutions distributionnelles bornées de ce problème. Un nouveau résultat de type Liouville pour Lσ,μ joue un rôle clé. L'existence et des estimations a priori sont déduites d'une approximation numérique ; des inégalités de type énergie sont aussi obtenues.
