Monotone flows in \(n\)-dimensional partially saturated porous media: Lipschitz-continuity of the interface (Q1109646)

In this paper it is considered the equation: \(c(u)_ t=\Delta u\) which models the partially saturated fluid flow in a porous medium; if the medium is saturated c(u) is equal to one, if the medium is unsaturated c(u) is less than one. The authors consider two specific Dirichlet problems: in the first one they impose boundary conditions which will guarantee that \(u_ t\) is positive and bounded away from zero; in the second problem they consider a domain with a hole in it with constant positive data on the inner boundary, constant negative data on the outer boundary and radially decreasing initial data.
