We prove a global existence result of a unique strong solution in $\dot H^{5/2} \cap \dot H^{3/2}$ with small $\dot H^{3/2}$ semi-norm for the 2D Muskat problem, hence allowing the interface to have arbitrary large finite slopes and finite…

This paper is concerned with the long time dynamics of the free boundary of a Darcy fluid in three space dimensions, also known as the one-phase Muskat problem. The dynamics of the free boundary is governed by a nonlocal fully nonlinear…
We prove time decay of solutions to the Muskat equation in 2D and in 3D. In \cite{JEMS} and \cite{CCGRPS}, the authors introduce the norms $\|f\|_{s}(t)= \int_{\mathbb{R}^{2}} |\xi|^{s}|\hat{f}(\xi)| \ d\xi$ in order to prove global…

We prove that the 3D stable Muskat problem is globally well-posed in the critical Sobolev space $\dot H^2 \cap \dot W^{1,\infty}$ provided that the semi-norm $\Vert f_0 \Vert_{\dot H^{2}}$ is small enough. Consequently, this allows the…
