Abstract
The nonlinear boundary-value problem for the diffusion equation,
which models gas interaction with solids, is considered. The
model includes diffusion and the sorption/desorption processes on
the surface, which leads to dynamical nonlinear boundary
conditions. The boundary-value problem is reduced to an
integro-differential equation of a special kind; existence and
uniqueness of the classical (differentiable) solution theorems
are proved. The results of numerical experiments are presented.
