We prove the existence and uniqueness of global, classical solutions to the 3D Muskat problem in the stable regime whenever the initial interface has sublinear growth and slope $||\nabla_x f_0||_{L^\infty}< 5^{-1/2}$. We show under these…
We prove the existence of global, smooth solutions to the 2D Muskat problem in the stable regime whenever the product of the maximal and minimal slopes is strictly less than 1. The curvature of these solutions solutions decays to 0 as $t$…
We address a generalised three-dimensional $\alpha$-Muskat model that comes from the fluid interface problem given by two incompressible fluids with different densities in the stable regime. We establish local-in-time wellposedness when…

We show the existence of self-similar solutions for the Muskat equation. These solutions are parameterized by $0<s \ll 1$; they are exact corners of slope $s$ at $t=0$ and become smooth in $x$ for $t>0$.
The Muskat problem models the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible immiscible fluids with different constant densities. In this work we prove three results. First we prove an $L^2(\R)$ maximum principle, in the form of a new…
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…
We study the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible fluids in a two-dimensional porous medium whose flow is modeled by the Muskat equations. For the two-phase Muskat problem, we establish global well-posedness and decay to…
We consider the evolution of two incompressible, immiscible fluids with different densities in porous media, known as the Muskat problem [21], which in two dimensions is analogous to the Hele-Shaw cell [26]. We establish, for a class of…
