Abstract In this paper, we consider an initial-boundary value problem of the p-Laplacian parabolic equation { u t (x , t) = div (| ∇ u (x , t) | p − 2 ∇ u (x , t)) + f (u (x , t)) , (x , t) ∈ Ω × (0 , + ∞) , u (x , t) = 0 , (x , t) ∈ ∂ Ω × [ 0 , + ∞) , u (x , 0) = u 0 ≥ 0 , x ∈ Ω ‾ , where p ≥ 2 and Ω is a bounded domain of R N (N ≥ 1) with smooth boundary ∂Ω. The main contribution of this work is to introduce a new condition (C p) α ∫ 0 u f (s) d s ≤ u f (u) + β u p + γ , u > 0 for some α , β , γ > 0 with 0 < β ≤ (α − p) λ 1 , p p , where λ 1 , p is the first eigenvalue of p-Laplacian Δ p , and we use the concavity method to obtain the blow-up solutions to the above equations. In fact, it will be seen that the condition (C p) improves the conditions ever known so far. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
