On a parabolic free boundary problem arising from a Bingham-like flow model with a visco-elastic core (Q853994)

The paper deals with a two-phase one-dimensional free boundary problem for parabolic equations arising from a mathematical model of Bingham-like fluids with viscoelastic core. The local existence for the problem under consideration is proved by virtue of fixed point arguments based on the Leray--Schauder theorem, whereas uniqueness follows in a more general, weak formulation of the problem.
