Excerpt

In the paper [1], a free boundary problem on a finite interval depending on time is formulated and solved for a nonlinear diffusion-convection equation. The authors consider:
$$\begin{aligned} \theta _{t}=\theta ^{2}(D\theta _{xx}-\theta _{x}),\;\;\theta= & {} \theta (x,t)\quad t>0, x\in [s_{0}(t),s_{1}(t)], \end{aligned}$$
(1)
$$\begin{aligned} \theta (x,0)= & {} \theta _{0},\;\;x\in [0,L], \end{aligned}$$
(2)
$$\begin{aligned} \theta (s_{0}(t),t)= & {} \alpha ,\;\;t>0, \end{aligned}$$
(3)
$$\begin{aligned} D\theta _{x}(s_{0}(t),t)-\theta (s_{0}(t),t)= & {} -\dot{s_{0}}(t),\;\;t>0, \end{aligned}$$
(4)
$$\begin{aligned} \theta (s_{1}(t),t)= & {} \beta ,\;\;t>0, \end{aligned}$$
(5)
$$\begin{aligned} D\theta _{x}(s_{1}(t),t)-\theta (s_{1}(t),t)= & {} -\dot{s_{1}}(t),\;\;t>0, \end{aligned}$$
(6)
and In the present case, using dimensionless variables \(\theta (x,t)\) denotes the concentration of the drug, which is assumed to be in a percolated phase, that propagates in the arterial wall after it has been released by a drug-eluting stent; D is the coefficient of diffusivity of the drug in the medium.
