A Cauchy problem on the semiline for a nonlinear diffusion equation is considered, with a boundary condition corresponding to a prescribed thermal conductivity at the origin. The problem is mapped into a moving boundary problem for the linear heat equation with a Robin-type boundary condition. Such a problem is then reduced to a linear integral Volterra equation of II type which admits a unique solution.

Abstract
A Cauchy problem on the semiline for a nonlinear diffusion equation is considered, with a boundary condition corresponding to a prescribed thermal conductivity at the origin. The problem is mapped into a moving boundary problem for the linear heat equation with a Robin-type boundary condition. Such a problem is then reduced to a linear integral Volterra equation of II type which admits a unique solution.File in questo prodotto:
