The governing equations are hyperbolic with a weakly dissipative source. Using a mass-Lagrangian formulation, the free-boundary is transformed into a fixed-boundary. We prove the existence of long time, continuously differentiable solutions to the transformed fixed boundary problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-26T16:33:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L50", "35R35" ], "keywords": [ "long-time existence", "classical solutions", "swelling gel", "free boundary", "mass-lagrangian formulation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.6548C" } } }
