Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ be a bounded domain and $u$ be a solution of \begin{equation} \label{parabolicequation} \left\{ \begin{array}{rcl} \frac{\partial}{\partial t}(u^q) - \nabla (|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u) + a(x) u^\lambda & = & 0\\ u(x,0) & = & u_0(x) \end{array} \right. \end{equation} for the Dirichlet boundary condition where $0 < \lambda < q < p - 1$ and $a$ is nonnegative on $\Omega$. In what follows, the function $a$ is degenerate, i.e., it vanishes on sets of positive measure.\\ The point is : is there a finite time $T$ such that the solution $u$ vanishes in whole $\Omega$ ?\\ We will deal with some results comming from so-called semi-classical methods. The first semi-classical method was initiated in 1997 by V.A. Kondratiev and L. V\'eron, improved in 2001 by Y.B., B. Helffer and L. V\'eron and optimized with A. Shishkov in 2007 for $q = 1$ and $p = 2$.\\ In 2001, some results have been established when $q = 1$ and $p > 2$ or when $q < 1$ and $p = 2$. We present some new results when $q \ne 1$ and $p \ne 2$.
