Abstract

The aims of this paper are to discuss the extinction and positivity for the solution of the initial boundary value problem and Cauchy problem of u t = div(|∇u m|p−2u m). It is proved that the weak solution will be extinct for 1 < p ≤ 1 + 1/m and will be positive for p > 1 + 1/m for large t, where m > 0.
