Abstract
This paper deals with a free boundary problem for a degenerate parabolic equation. For such a problem, we mainly study the blowup property and global existence of solutions. Our results show that blowup occurs if the initial datum is sufficiently large, while the solution is global and fast if the initial data is sufficiently small, and that the existence of a global slow solution is possible when the initial data is suitably large.
