description

where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, @=@ is the outer normal derivative, m ? 1; p; and q are positive parameters and u0 is in L∞( ). Problems of this form arise in mathematical models in a number of areas of science, for instance, in models for gas or :uid :ow in porous media [3] and for the spread of certain biological populations [13]. In the semilinear case (that is for m=1), there is an extensive literature about global existence and blow-up results for this type of problems, see among others, [5,9,16] and the literature therein. For the degenerate case (that is for m = 1), with a nonlinear boundary condition, local existence and uniqueness of weak solutions which are limit of solutions of nondegenerate problems has been established in [1]. Also in [2] existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions for a similar
