Periodicity and almost periodicitiy of solutions to free boundary problems in Hele-Shaw flows (Q1106998)

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the following problem: given \(f,g_ 0,g_ 1\) and \(u_ 0\), find u such that \(\partial u/\partial t-\Delta v=f,\) \(v\in \beta (u)\) in (0,\(\infty)\times \Omega\), \(v=g_ 0\), on \((0,\infty)\times \Gamma_ 0\), \(\partial v/\partial n+p\cdot v=g_ 1,\) on \((0,\infty)\times (\Gamma \setminus \Gamma_ 0)\), \(u(0)=u_ 0\), in \(\Omega\), where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n \)with smooth boundary \(\Gamma\), \(\Gamma_ 0\) is a compact subset of \(\Gamma\) with positive surface measure, p is a positive bounded measurable function on \(\Gamma\) and \(\beta\) is a maximal monotone graph in \({\mathbb{R}}\times {\mathbb{R}}\).
