ON THE DEAD-CORE PROBLEM FOR THE $p$-LAPLACE EQUATION WITH A STRONG ABSORPTION

抄録

We study an initial boundary value problem for the $p$-Laplace equation with a strong absorption. We are concerned with the dead-core behavior of the solution. First, some criteria for developing dead-core are given. Also, the temporal dead-core rate for certain initial data is determined. Then we prove uniqueness theorem for the backward self-similar solutions.
