This paper investigates the nonnegative solutions of quasi-linear degenerate
parabolic system
ut-div(|▽u|p-2 ▽u) =avα, vt-div(|▽v|q-2 ▽v) =buβ
with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain Ω( RN (N≥ 1), where p, q>2, α, β ≥ 1, a, b>0 are constants. It is obtained that whether the solution blows up in finite time or not depends on the initial data, the coefficients a and b, and the relation between αβ and (p-1)(q-1).
