Finite extinction time for a nonlinear parabolic Neumann boundary value problem. (English) Zbl 0833.35076

Let \(u\) be a nonnegative, bounded solution of the nonlinear parabolic equation \(u_t= \Delta\varphi(u)- f(u)\) on \(\Omega\times (0, \infty)\) (\(\Omega\) bounded) with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and a nontrivial, nonnegative initial condition. We show that there exists a time \(t_0> 0\) for which \(u(x, t)= 0\) for all \(t\geq t_0\) if and only if \(\int^\varepsilon_0 {ds\over f(s)}< \infty\).
