  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider a nonstationary problem with free boundary for an elliptic equation in the case where the value of the required function on an unknown boundary is proportional to the curvature of this boundary. We prove the existence of a solution in the small with respect to time in the spaces of smooth functions.
