Hele-Shaw type problems with dynamical boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the nonlinear evolution equation of Hele-Shaw type with dynamical boundary conditions. That is, the equation ut = w + f where u ∈ H(w) and H is the Heaviside function, with boundary condition μ(x,w)∂tw + k∇w · ν = g, where ν denotes the outward normal vector of the fixed boundary of the domain. We prove existence, uniqueness and some qualitative properties of the solution. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
