Difference approximations to interface curves for nonlinear diffusion equations with absorption

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with extinction phenomena in finite time and propose difference approximations to interface curves, and prove the convergence to exact interface curves.

Near field asymptotics for the porous medium equation in exterior domains. The critical two-dimensional case

TL;DR: This paper characterize the large time behavior in such scale, thus completing the results of [Gilding-Goncerzewicz-2007], which considered the porous medium equation in an exterior two-dimensional domain which excludes a hole.

Sunspot and starspot lifetimes in a turbulent erosion model

TL;DR: In this paper, the disintegration of a magnetic flux tube by nonlinear diffusion was investigated and two physically motivated functional forms for the diffusion coefficient were proposed: an inverse power-law dependence and a step-function dependence on the magnetic field magnitude.

Nonlinear diffusion and viral spread through the leaf of a plant

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Lie symmetry analysis to model the spatial-temporal spread of a virus through the leaf of a plant and showed how the solution can be derived using Lie symmetric analysis.

Exact sharp-fronted solutions for nonlinear diffusion on evolving domains

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present exact sharp-fronted solutions to a model of degenerate nonlinear diffusion on a growing domain by identifying a series of transformations that converts the model of non-linear diffusion to the porous medium equation on a fixed domain, which admits known exact solutions.
