A recent model for the penetration of solvents into polymers leads to a parabolic free boundary problem with unusual boundary conditions.

Abstract
A recent model for the penetration of solvents into polymers leads to a parabolic free boundary problem with unusual boundary conditions. It is shown that the model equations are well posed, and some qualitative features of the free boundary are established. A numerical method for the free boundary problem is suggested and its convergence is proved. A numerical calculation is included to illustrate the theoretical results.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
