In this talk, I will introduce the p-Laplacian evolution equation (PLE) and the porous medium equation (PME) and give some applications to both. I will present a theorem that relates solutions of PME to solutions of PLE and use it to find radially symmetric solutions to the very fast p-Laplacian evolution equation.
