These notes collect the basic results in commutative algebra used in the rest of my
notes and books. Although most of the material is standard, the notes include a few
results, for example, the affine version of Zariski’s ...
Well-posedness and self-similar asymptotics for a thin-film equation
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2015-07-30)
We investigate compactly supported solutions for a thin-film equation with linear mobility in the regime of perfect wetting. This problem has already been addressed by Carrillo and Toscani, proving that the source-type ...
