Abstract
The problem of the movement of liquid in a thin film under the effect of forces of capillary pressure when one or both film surfaces are retarded is analyzed by the iteration method. The results obtained allow one to trace the evolution of the film, i.e., to construct its profiles at different times and to find the law of its thinning. A comparison is made with experimental data.
