Abstract: We consider the parabolic, initial value problem v_t =Delta_p(v)+lambda g(x,v)phi_p(v), quad ext{in Omegaimes(0,infty),} [ v =0, ext{in partialOmegaimes(0,infty),} ag{IVP} v =v_0ge0, ext{in Omegaimes0,} ] where Omega is a bounded domain in mathbbRN, for some integer Nge1, with smooth boundary partialOmega, phip(s):=|s|p−1msgns, sinmathbbR, Deltap denotes the p-Laplacian, with p>max2,N, v0inC0(overlineOmega), and lambda>0. The function g:overlineOmegaimes[0,infty)o(0,infty) is C0 and, for each xinoverlineOmega, the function g(x,cdot):[0,infty)o(0,infty) is Lipschitz continuous and strictly decreasing. Clearly, (IVP) has the trivial solution vequiv0, for all lambda>0. In addition, there exists 0<lambdammin(g)<lambdammax(g) (lambdammax(g) may be infty) such that: (a) if lambdaotin(lambdammin(g),lambdammax(g)) then (IVP) has no non-trivial, positive equilibrium; (b) if lambdain(lambdammin(g),lambdammax(g)) then (IVP) has a unique, non-trivial, positive equilibrium elambdainW01,p(Omega). We prove the following results on the positive solutions of (IVP): (a) if 0<lambda<lambdammin(g) then the trivial solution is globally asymptotically stable; (b) if lambdammin(g)<lambda<lambdammax(g) then elambda is globally asymptotically stable; (c) if lambdammax(g)<lambda then any non-trivial solution blows up in finite time.
