Waiting time of propagation and the backward motion of interfaces in thin-film flow theory
Method of difference-functional inequalities in the study of initial
propagation of the supports of generalized solutions of higher order quasilinear
parabolic equations is described. As application, we find some flatness conditions
on the initial function, which guarantee appearance of a waiting time
in the propagation and backward motion of interfaces phenomena in thin-film
flow type equations. Some lower estimate of backward motion speed is obtained
too.
