Abstract

We introduce a new type of the weak solution of the polytropic filtration equations with a convection term, ut = div(α(x)|u|α|∇u|p-2∇u) + ∂bi(um)/∂xi. Here, Ω ⊂ ℝN is a domain with a C2 smooth boundary ∂Ω, α(x) ∈ C1(Ω̅), p > 1, m = 1 + α/p-1, α > 0, α(x) > 0 when x ∈ Ω and α(x) = 0 when x ∈ ∂Ω. Since the equation is degenerate on the boundary, its weak solutions may lack the needed regularity to have a trace on the boundary. The main aim of the paper is to establish the stability of the weak solution without any boundary value condition.
