Abstract

We consider the following quasilinear parabolic equation

where is a generalized Lewis function. The main result is that the solution blows up in finite time if the initial datum possesses suitable positive energy. Moreover, we have a precise estimate for the lifespan of the solution in this case. Blowup of solutions with vanishing initial energy is considered also.
