A general method for solving the Dirichlet problem for the Burgers equation
with a moving boundary is introduced The method reduces the initial value
problem to a linear integral equation of Volterra type with mildly singular
kernel, which admits a unique solution under rather general assumptions. T
wo explicit cases an considered: a boundary moving with constant velocity a
nd a rapidly oscillating boundary. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All right
