Monotonicity and symmetry of solutions of -Laplace equations, , via the moving plane method
Sufficient conditions are obtained so that a weak subsolution of , bounded from above on the parabolic boundary of the cylinder , turns out to be bounded from above in .
The Muskat problem models the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible immiscible fluids with different constant densities. In this work we prove three results. First we prove an maximum principle, in the form of a new “log” conservation law which is satisfied by the equation (1) for the interface. Our second result is a proof of global existence for unique strong solutions if the initial data is smaller than an explicitly computable constant, for instance . Previous results of this...
