Abstract: | In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem of porous medium equation ρ(x)u
t
= Δu
m
+ V(x)h(t)u
p
in a cone D = (0, ∞) × Ω, where V(x) ~ |x|s, h(t) ~ ts{V(x)\,{\sim}\, |x|^\sigma, h(t)\,{\sim}\, t^s}. Let ω
1 denote the smallest Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on Ω and let l denote the positive root of l
2 + (n − 2)l = ω
1. We prove that if
m < p £ 1+(m-1)(1+s)+\frac2(s+1)+sn+l{m < p \leq 1+(m-1)(1+s)+\frac{2(s+1)+\sigma}{n+l}}, then the problem has no global nonnegative solutions for any nonnegative u
0 unless u
0 = 0; if ${p >1 +(m-1)(1+s)+\frac{2(s+1)+\sigma}{n+l}}${p >1 +(m-1)(1+s)+\frac{2(s+1)+\sigma}{n+l}}, then the problem has global solutions for some u
