Weak solutions to lubrication systems describing the evolution of bilayer thin films

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

The existence of global nonnegative weak solutions is proved for coupled one-dimensional lubrication systems that describe the evolution of nanoscopic bilayer thin polymer films that take account of Navier-slip or no-slip conditions at both liquid-liquid and liquid-solid interfaces. In addition, in the presence of attractive van der Waals and repulsive Born intermolecular interactions existence of positive smooth solutions is shown.
