Quenching for singular and degenerate quasilinear diffusion equations

Yuanyuan Nie, Chunpeng Wang, Qian Zhou

Abstract:
This article concerns the quenching phenomenon of the solution to the Dirichlet problem of a singular and degenerate quasilinear diffusion equation. It is shown that there exists a critical length for the special domain in the sense that the solution exists globally in time if the length of the special domain is less than this number while the solution quenches if the length is greater than this number. Furthermore, we also study the quenching properties for the quenching solution, including the location of the quenching points and the blowing up of the derivative of the solution with respect to the time at the quenching time.
