Abstract

This article deals with the degenerate parabolic equations in exterior domains and with  inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We obtain  that pc= (σ+m)n(n-σ-2) is its critical exponent provided {-1, [(1-m)n-2](n+1)} < σ < n-2. This critical exponent is not the same as that for the corresponding equations with the boundary value 0, but is more closely tied to the critical exponent of the  elliptic type degenerate equations. Furthermore, we demonstrate  that if max{1, σ + m} < p ≤ pc,  then every positive solution of the equations blows  up in finite time; whereas for p < pc, the equations admit global positive solutions for some boundary values  and initial data. Meantime, we also  demonstrate that its positive solutions blow  up in finite time provided n ≤ σ + 2.
