In this paper, we consider the following initial-boundary value problem
where is a bounded domain in with smooth boundary , is an elliptic operator, is a positive parameter, is a positive, increasing, convex function for , and with . Under some assumptions, we show that the solution of the above problem quenches in a finite time and its quenching time goes to that of the solution of the following differential equation
as goes to zero. We also show that the above result remains...
