AbstractWe study regularity and propagation properties of interfaces separating regions where nonnegative weak solutions of the Cauchy problem for the equation
$$u_t = (u^m )xx + \left[ {u\left( {\int_{ - \infty }^x {u(y,t)dy} - \int_x^\infty {u(y,t)dy} } \right)} \right]_x , m > 1,$$
are strictly positive or equal to zero. It is shown that under suitable conditions on the initial data the interfaces are (not necessarily monotone)C∞-curves and they do not lose this regularity at their turning points. The study of the interface regularity is performed via Lagrangian coordinates. We show that the initial behaviorof interfaces is determined by the character of growth of the initial datum near the endpoints of the initial support. Estimates (from below and from above) on the width of the positivity set of solutions are also obtained.
