CAUCHY-DIRICHLET PROBLEM FOR THE NONLINEAR DEGENERATE PARABOLIC EQUATIONS ISMAIL KOMBE Received 30 May 2004 We will investigate the nonexistence of positive solutions for the following nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation: ∂u/∂t = u + V (w)up −1 in Ω × (0, T), 1 p 2, u(w,0) = u (w) ≥ 0 in Ω, u(w, t) = 0 on ∂Ω × (0, T) where is the subelliptic p - 0 Laplacian and V ∈ L1 (Ω). loc 1. Introduction This paper deals with the nonexistence of positive solutions to the following nonlinear parabolic equation: ∂u = u + V (w)up −1 in Ω × (0, T), 1 p 2, ∂t u(w,0) = u (w) ≥ 0 in Ω, (1.1) 0 u(w, t) = 0 on ∂Ω × (0, T), ´ 2n+1 1 where Ω is a Carnot-Caratheodory metric ball in R and V ∈ Lloc (Ω). The nonlinear operator is the subelliptic p -Laplacian: 2n p −2 = X Xu | X u , (1.2) u j | j j =1 where ∂ 2k −2 ∂ ∂ 2k −2 ∂ X = + 2ky |z | , X = − 2kx |z | , j = 1,... , n. (1.3) j ∂xj j ∂l n+j ∂yj j ∂l ¨ are the smooth vector fields and satisfy Hormander condition [25] for any k ∈ N. Here Xu = (X u, ... ,X u) is the subelliptic gradient of a fun
