Abstract

We study the existence and uniqueness of the positive solutions of the problem (P): tuΔu+uq=0\partial_tu-\Delta u+u^q=0 (q>1q>1) in Ω×(0,)\Omega\times (0,\infty), u=u=\infty on Ω×(0,)\partial\Omega\times (0,\infty) and u(.,0)L1(Ω)u(.,0)\in L^1(\Omega), when Ω\Omega is a bounded domain in RN\mathbb R^N. We construct a maximal solution, prove that this maximal solution is a large solution whenever q<N/(N2)q<N/(N-2) and it is unique if Ω=Ωˉc\partial\Omega=\partial\bar\Omega^c. If Ω\partial\Omega has the local graph property, we prove that there exists at most one solution to problem (P)
