This paper studies the properties of solutions for a double nonlinear time-dependent parabolic equation with variable density, not in divergence form, with a source or absorption. The problem is formulated as a partial differential equation with a nonlinear term that depends on the solution and the time. The main results are the existence of weak solutions in suitable function spaces; regularity and positivity of solutions; asymptotic behavior of solutions as time goes to infinity; comparison principles; and maximum principles for solutions. The proofs are based on comparison methods and asymptotic techniques. Some examples and applications are also given to illustrate the features of the problem.
