(2.7
)hold,
if
1)
plan filtration
is
considered, gravity being not taken into
2)
liquids are of the

3)

Remark
2.
From the theorem
it
follows that identities (2.5),(2.5*)
actually hold with coefficients
=
a+
E
and
C
=
bs
but not
those extended over
s
.
Remark

If
an initial and boundary saturation distribution

tisfies the conditions

in

then, when assumptions (2.7*) are realized according to inequali-
ties (2.6*) there are no stagnant zones in the flow, where
limit
values
s=i),'l
are reached. Problem
I
in
this case
is
called a
regular problem (in equation (1.7)

Generally only inequalities (2.6) hold
and
stagnation zones with
residual values
of
saturation may appear
s

Equation (1.7)
degenerates
(a

and, accordingly, problem
I
is
called sin-
gular.

Compactness principle for a non-stationary problem solution
The solution of
a
singular problem

is
found as a
limit
of a
solution sequence

For this upurpose we show that one can isolate
a
