Abstract.  We give an existence result of the obstacle parabolic associated to the problem
u ≥ ψ a.e. in Ω × (0, T),
∂u/∂t − div(a(x, t, u, ∇u)) + H(x, t, u, ∇u) = f in Q = Ω × (0, T).
The main contribution of this work is to prove the existence of an entropy solution without the sign and the coercivity conditions on H(x, t, u, ∇u), the critical growth condition on H is with respect to ∇u, no growth condition with respect to u. The second term f belongs to L1(Q) and u0 ∈ L1(Ω). The main methods are the so called ”penalization methods”.
Keywords:Entropy solutions. Penalized equations. Nonlinear parabolic problem.
