## Abstract We prove the existence of weak global solutions to the degenerate diffusion equation (1) with singular absorption term. Moreover we investigate the regularity up to the quenching time and we show by means of explicit solutions that our regularity results are optimal.

Abstract
It is shown that the Cauchy problem in โ for the strongly degenerate parabolic equation
has a nonnegative weak solution for any nonnegative bounded continuous initial datum, provided that q โค p โ 1, while there is no (continuous) weak solution for q > p โ 1. The evolution of the spatial positivity set {u(t) > 0}, continuity of the free boundary and the extinction rate are also investigated. (ยฉ 2004 WILEYโVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

In this paper, we study the strict localization for the doubly degenerate parabolic equation with strongly nonlinear sources, We prove that, for non-negative compactly supported initial data, the strict localization occurs if and only if q m(p-1).
Using a new method, we generalize the blow up and existence result from P. Baras and J. A. Goldstein (1984, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 284, 121-139) to heat equations on the Heisenberg group. In doing so we need to overcome the difficulty that the equation in this case is both degenerate and of variabl
We consider a reaction-diffusion system with a full matrix of diffusion coefficients satisfying a balance law on a bounded domain with no-flux boundary conditions. We demonstrate that global solutions exist for polynomial reaction terms provided some conditions on the diffusion coefficients are sati
