Nonuniqueness of solutions for a singular diffusion problem

In this paper, we consider a singular diffusion problem and show, by constructing a counterexample, that the weak solution to the problem is not unique. The proof consists of several steps. First, we prove that there exists a maximal weak solution to the problem. We show that the support of the continuous maximal weak solution cannot decrease in time. Then we cite an example of a nonnegative continuous function with shrinking support that also solves the problem, and therefore the problem possesses at least two weak solutions for some continuous nonnegative initial data.
