Abstract:
In this paper we are concerned with the existence of a weak solution to the initial boundary value problem for the equation ∂u/∂t = Δ(Δu)-3. This problem arises in the mathematical modeling of the evolution of a crystal surface. Existence of a weak solution u with Δu ≥ 0 is obtained via a suitable substitution. Our investigations reveal the close connection between this problem and the equation ∂
