RT Journal Article T1 Sufficient and necessary initial mass conditions for the existence of a waiting time in nonlinear-convection processes A1 Díaz Díaz, Jesús Ildefonso A1 Álvarez, Luis AB We study the initial behavior of the fronts (for interfaces) generated by the solutions of the equation ut=(um)xx+b(uλ)x, where m,b,λ>0 are real numbers. We derive a mass comparison principle that allows us to give necessary and sufficient conditions in order to have waiting time at the fronts. Different regions in the (λ,m) parameter space must be introduced, leading to answers of a very different nature PB Elsevier SN 0022-247X YR 1991 FD 1991-03-01 LK https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/57512 UL https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/57512 LA eng DS Docta Complutense RD 9 may 2025
