Let P be the parabolic differential operator

where E is a linear elliptic operator of second order on D × [0, ∞), D being a bounded domain in Rn. The asymptotic behaviour of solutions u(x, t) of differential inequalities of the form

has been investigated by Protter (4). He found conditions on the functions ƒ and g under which solutions of (1), vanishing on the boundary of D and tending to zero with sufficient rapidity as t → ∞, vanish identically for all t ⩾ 0. Similar results have been found by Lees (1) for parabolic differential inequalities in Hilbert space.
