Radial Solutions of Free Boundary Problems for Degenerate Parabolic Equations

Abstract

ln this paper we are devoted to the free boundary problem {u_t = ΔA(u) \quad (x,t) ∈ G_{r,r} u(x, 0) = φ(x) \quad ∈ G_0 u|_r = 0 (\frac{∂A(u)}{∂x_i}v_i + ψ(x)v_1)|_r = 0, where A'(u) ≥ 0. Under suitable assumptions we obtain the existence and uniqueness of global radial solutions for n =2 and local radial solutions for n ≥ 3.
