This paper is concerned with two types of nonlinear parabolic equations,
which arise from the nonlinear filtration problems for non-Newtonian fluids. These
equations include as special cases the porous medium equations $u_t =$ div$(u^l\nabla u)$
and the evolution equation governed by p-Laplacian $u_t =$ div $(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)$. Because
of the degeneracy or singularity caused by the terms $u^l$ and $|\nabla u|^{p-2}$, one can not
expect the existence of global (in time) classical solutions for these equations except
for special cases. Therefore most of works have been devoted to the study of weak
solutions. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the existence of much
more regular (not necessarily global) solutions. The existence of local solutions in
$W^{1,\infty}(\Omega)$ is assured under the assumption that initial data are non-negative functions
in $W_0^{1,\infty}(\Omega)$, and that the mean curvature of the boundary $\partial \Omega$ of the domain
$\Omega$ is non-positive. We here introduce a new method "$L^\infty$-energy method", which
provides a main tool for our arguments and would be useful for other situations.
