Abstract
We investigate the existence and the boundary regularity of source-type self-similar solutions to the thin-film equation where and is the Dirac mass at the origin. It is known that the leading order expansion near the edge of the support coincides with that of a traveling-wave solution for the standard thin-film equation: . In this paper we sharpen this result, proving that the higher-order corrections are analytic with respect to three variables: the first one is just the {spatial} variable, whereas the second and the third (except for ) are irrational powers of it. It is known that this third variable does not appear for the thin-film equation without gravity.
