 Title: Propagation versus constancy of support in the degenerate parabolic equation $u_t=f(u)\Delta u$ Authors: Winkler, Michael Keywords: Degenerate diffusionsupport evolution Issue Date: 2004 Publisher: Università degli Studi di Trieste. Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica Series/Report no.: Rendiconti dell’Istituto di Matematica dell’Università di Trieste. An International Journal of Mathematics36 (2004) Abstract: A weak solution concept for the Dirichlet problem in bounded domains for the degenerate parabolic equation $u_t = f(u)\Delta u$ is presented. It is shown that if $\int_0^1 \frac{ds}{f(s)}<\infty$ then each nontrivial nonnegative weak solution eventually becomes positive, while if $\int_0^1 \frac{ds}{f(s)} = \infty$ then all weak solutions have their support constant in time.
