On the Cauchy problem of a quasilinear degenerate parabolic equation (Q1040174)

Summary: By Oleinik's line method, we study the existence and the uniqueness of the classical solution of the Cauchy problem for the following equation in \([0,T]\times\mathbb R^{2}: \partial _{xx}u+u\partial _{y}u - \partial _{t}u=f(\cdot ,u)\), provided that \(T\) is suitable small. Results of numerical experiments are reported to demonstrate that the strong solutions of the above equation may blow up in finite time.
