The aim of this paper is to discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the porous medium equation u_t - (u^m)_{xx} = μ(x) in (x, t) ∈ \mathbb{R} × (0, +∞) with initial condition u(x, 0) = u_0(x) x ∈ (-∞, +∞), where μ(x) is a nonnegative finite Radon measure, u_0 ∈ L¹(\mathbb{R}) ∩ L∞(\mathbb{R}) is a nonnegative function, and m > 1, and \mathbb{R} ≡ (-∞, +∞).
