Blow-up for the porous media equation with source term and positive initial energy (Q1576975): Difference between revisions

The Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for the porous media equation with nonlinear source term in a bounded set is considered. The problem describes the propagation of thermal perturbations in a medium with nonlinear heat-conduction coefficient and a heat source depending on the temperature. The aim of the paper is to extend the unstable set to a part of the positive energy region, a phenomenon known only for linear conduction.
