Self-similar solution for fourth order curvature flow equation (A problem with incompatible initial data)

Our study is the problem of the existence of the self-similar solution for the surface diffusion flow in one-dimensional case with nonlinear boundary conditions. This problem was proposed by W. W. Mullins to describe the thermal grooving. Since the problem is incompatible with the initial data we cannot apply the abstract theorem on quasilinear theory.
In this talk, we show the existence of self-similar solution of the differential form of the surface diffusion flow with linearized boundary conditions. We use the idea of the maximal regularity results by Da Prato--Grisvard and Angenent.
