Boundedness of global solutions of one dimensional quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations (Q1127688)

A one-dimensional degenerate parabolic equation with the Dirichlet boundary condition is considered. For the problem under consideration, blow-up in finite time occurs for large initial data but global solutions may also exist. It is shown in the paper that all global nonnegative solutions are uniformly bounded provided the nonlinearities satisfy some suitable assumptions. Under some different assumptions, analogous results were established before by \textit{M. Fila} [J. Differ. Equations 98, No. 2, 226-240 (1992; Zbl 0764.35010)] and \textit{G. M. Lieberman} [Commun. Appl. Nonlinear Anal. 1, No. 3, 93-115 (1994; Zbl 0970.00269)] by a different method.
