Abstract
We consider a slow diffusion equation with a singular quenching term, extending the mathematical treatment made in 1992 by B. Kawohl and R. Kersner for the one-dimensional case. Besides the existence of a very weak solution, we prove some pointwise gradient estimates, mainly when the absorption dominates over the diffusion. In particular, a new kind of universal gradient estimate is proved. Several qualitative properties (such as the finite time quenching phenomena and the finite speed of propagation) and the study of the Cauchy problem are also considered.
