In this paper, instead of energy methods, we apply the supersolution and subsolution methods to investigate the critical extinction exponents for a polytropic filtration equation with absorption and source, and improve the results of Mu et al. ( J. Math. Anal. Appl . 2012; 391 :429–440). Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
