Abstract: We study existence of global solutions and finite time blow-up of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation with a variable density ho(x) and a power-like reaction term ho(x)up with p>1; this is a mathematical model of a thermal evolution of a heated plasma (see [25]). The density decays slowly at infinity, in the sense that ho(x)lesssim|x|q as |x|o+infty with qin[0,2). We show that for large enough initial data, solutions blow-up in finite time for any p>1. On the other hand, if the initial datum is small enough and , for a suitable depending on ho,m,N, then global solutions exist. In addition, if p<underlinep, for a suitable depending on ho,m,N, then the solution blows-up in finite time for any nontrivial initial datum; we need the extra hypotehsis that qin[0,epsilon) for epsilon>0 small enough, when mleqp<underlinep. Observe that , if ho(x) is a multiple of |x|q for |x| large enough. Such results are in agreement with those established in [41], where ho(x)equiv1. The case of fast decaying density at infinity, i.e. qgeq2, is examined in [31].
