✦ Synopsis
We study the Cauchy᎐Dirichlet problem for the porous media equation with nonlinear source term in a bounded subset of ޒ n . The problem describes the propagation of thermal perturbations in a medium with a nonlinear heat-conduction coefficient and a heat source depending on the temperature. The aim of the paper is to extend the unstable set to a part of the positive energy region, a phenomenon which was known only for linear conduction.

In this paper, following the ideas of Lax, we prove a blow-up result for a class of solutions of the equation & -&x -&+xx -= 0, corresponding, in certain cases, to the development of a singularity in the second derivatives of 4. These solutions solve locally (in time) the Cauchy problem for smooth i
