We study the initial value problem with unbounded nonnegative functions or measures for the equation $∂_t u-Δ_p u+f(u)=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^ × (0,\infty)$ where $p>1$, $Δ_p u = div(|∇ u|^{p-2} ∇ u )$ and $f$ is a continuous, nondecreasing nonnegative function such that $f(0)=0$. In the case $p>\frac{2N}{N+1}$, we provide a sufficient condition on $f$ for existence and uniqueness of the solutions satisfying the initial data $kΔ_0$ and we study their limit when $k → ∞$ according $f^{-1}$ and $F^{-1/p}$ are integrable or not at infinity, where $F(s)= ∫_0^s f(σ)dσ$. We also give new results dealing with uniqueness and non uniqueness for the initial value problem with unbounded initial data. If $p>2$, we prove that, for a large class of nonlinearities $f$, any positive solution admits an initial trace in the class of positive Borel measures. As a model case we consider the case $f(u)=u^α ln^β (u+1)$, where $α>0$ and $β ≥ 0$.
