Abstract: We present a method for constructing closed-form similarity solutions of the fourth-order nonlinear lubrication equation. By extending a technique used to study second-order degenerate diffusion problems, corresponding interface profiles and diffusion coefficient functions can be derived in exact form. Different classes of spreading and shrinking solutions are obtained using this approach.
