A Nonlinear Diffusion-Absorption Equation with Unbounded Initial Data

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Diffusion Equations and Their Equilibrium States, 3

Abstract

We consider the questions of existence, uniqueness and interface behaviour for nonnegative solutions of the Cauchy Problem where u 0 is a continuous and nonnegative function which can be unbounded on R, in the exponent range 1 <p<m.
