Abstract

This paper is concerned with the existence of nontrivial and nonnegative periodic solutions of a doubly degenerate and singular parabolic equation in non-divergent form with nonlinear sources. We will determine exact classification for the exponent values of the source, and so, for the nonexistence of nontrivial periodic solutions, as well as the existence of those solutions with compact support, and the existence of positive periodic solutions.
