We deal with nonlinear parabolic unilateral problems by means of the homographic approximation, introduced by C. M. Brauner and B. Nicolaenko [in: "Nonlinear Partial Diff. Equations and Their Applications", H. Brezis, J. L. Lions (eds.), Research Notes in Mathematics 70 (1982) 86--128] in the linear elliptic case. The interest in this kind of penalty method arises from the fact that, in contrast with the usual penalization the homographic approximation is a "bounded penalty", which turns out to be convenient to have a priori estimates on the approximate solutions.
