This is achieved by showing that the mathematical model can be formulated as a quasilinear parabolic evolution problem in $W^{\\overline{s}-2}_p(\\mathbb{R})$, where ${\\overline{s}\\in(1+1/p,s)}$. Moreover, we prove that the solutions become instantly smooth and we provide a criterion for the global existence of solutions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-23T09:41:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35R37", "76D27", "35K59" ], "keywords": [ "surface tension", "equal viscosities", "muskat problem", "quasilinear parabolic evolution problem", "subcritical sobolev spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
