We study the Cauchy problem for the quasilinear parabolic equationwhere p > 1 is a parameter and ψ is a smooth, bounded function on (1, ∞) with − ⩽ s ψ′( s )/ψ( s ) ⩽ θ for some θ > 0. If 1 < p < 1 + 2/ N , there are no global positive solutions, whereas if p > 1 + 2/ N , there are global, positive solutions for small initial data.
