1 Introduction The aim of this work is the solvability of the following equation ∂ t β ( u ) − ∂ t  a ( u ) − ∇ d ( t , x , u , ∇ a ( u )) + K ( u ) = f ( t , x , u ) where ( t , x ) Î (0, T ) × Ω = Q T , with the initial condition β ( u (0, x )) = β ( u 0 ( x )), x ∈  and the boundary condition u ( t , x ) = 0, ( t , x ) ∈ (0, T ) × ∂ . The memory operator K is defined by t  K ( t ) u , v  =   k ( t , s ) g ( s , x , ∇ u ( s , x )) ∇ v ( t , x ) dsdx . (1 : 4)  0 Let us denote by (P), the problem generated by Equations (1.1)-(1.3). The problem (P) has relevant interest applications to the porous media equation and to integro- differential equation modeling memory effects. Several problems of thermoelasticity and viscoelasticity can also be reduced to this type of problems. A variety of problems arising in mechanics, elasticity theory, molecular dynamics, and quantum mechanics can be described by doubly nonlinear problems. The literature on the subject of local in time doubly nonlinear evolution equations is rather wide. Among these contributions, we refer the reader to [1] where the authors studied the convergence of a finite volume scheme for the numerical solution for an elliptic-parabolic equation. Using Rothe method, the author in [2] studied a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation with a second-order differential Volterra operator. In [3] © 2012 Chaoui and Guezane-Lakoud; licensee Springer.
