Critical Exponent for the Parabolic Equation u;=Δu;+ h（t）u;in a Cone

In this paper,we study the initial-boundary value problem of porous medium equation ut = Δum + h(t)up in a cone D =(0,∞) ×Ω,where h(t) ～ tσ.Let ω1 denote the smallest Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Ω and let l denote the positive root of l 2 +(n 2)l = ω1.We prove that if m < p ≤ m + 2(σ+1) n+l + σ(m 1),then the problem has no global nonnegative solutions for any nonnegative u0 unless u0 = 0;if p > m + 2(σ+1) n+l + σ(m1),then the problem has global solutions for some u 0 ≥ 0.
