Abstract

We study the existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions of the equation ft=Δpf=div(Dfp2Df)f_t = \Delta_p f = \text{div} (|Df|^{p-2} Df) under over-determined boundary conditions f=0f = 0 and Df=1|Df| = 1. We show that if the initial data is concave and Lipschitz with a bounded and convex support, then the problem admits a unique solution which exists until it vanishes identically. Furthermore, the free-boundary of the support of ff is smooth for all positive time.
