The linear limit of the dipole problem for the thin film equation

We investigate self-similar solutions of the dipole problem for the one-dimensional thin film equation on the half-line {x ≥ 0}. We study compactly supported solutions of the linear moving boundary problem and show how they relate to solutions of the nonlinear problem. The similarity solutions are g...
