Branching analysis of a countable family of global similarity solutions of a fourth-order thin film equation

The main goal in this article is to justify that source-type and other global-in-time similarity solutions of the Cauchy problem for the fourth-order thin film equation $$ u_t=-\nabla \cdot (|u|^n \nabla \Delta u) \quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^N \times \mathbb{R}_ + \text{where }n>0,\; N \ge...
