Extract

Propagation at a finite speed is established for non-negative weak solutions to a thin-film approximation of the two-phase Muskat problem. The expansion rate of the support matches the scale invariance of the system. Moreover, we determine sufficient conditions on the initial data for the occurrence of waiting time phenomena.
