    Abstract

    We solve a half-line problem for a nonlinear diffusion equation with a given time-dependent thermal conductivity at the origin. The problem reduces to a linear Volterra integral equation, which is solvable by Picard’s process of successive approximations. We analyze some explicit examples numerically.
