Abstract.
We study an elliptic-parabolic problem appearing in the theory of partially saturated flows in the framework of viscosity solutions. This is part of current investigation to understand the theory of viscosity solutions for PDE problems involving free boundaries. We prove that the problem is well posed in the viscosity setting and compare the results with the weak theory. Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are considered.
