Abstract

For the solution of filtration equation with a density which is decreasing at infinity fast enough we found that the interface disappears in finite time.

Sommario

Si considera un problema di filtrazione con densità che decresce all'infinito in modo sufficientemente rapido. Si dimostra che il contorno libero sparisce in tempo finito.
