Abstract
This paper is devoted to prove, in a nonclassical function space, the weak
solvability of a mixed problem which combines a Neumann condition and an integral
boundary condition for the semilinear one-dimensional heat equation. The
investigation is made by means of approximation by the Rothe method which is
based on a semidiscretization of the given problem with respect to the time variable.
