We consider the surface diffusion flow equation when the curve is given as the graph of a function v(x; t) defined in a half line R+ = {x > 0} under the boundary conditions vx = tan > 0 and vxxx = 0 at x = 0. We construct a unique (spatially bounded) self-similar solution when the angle is sufficiently small.We further prove the stability of this self-similar solution. The problem stems from an equation proposed by W. W. Mullins (1957) to model formation of surface grooves on the grain boundaries, where the second boundary condition vxxx = 0 is replaced by zero slope condition on the curvature of the graph. For construction of a self-similar solution we solves the initial-boundary problem with homogeneous initial data. However, since the problem is quasilinear and initial data is not compatible with the boundary condition a simple application of an abstract theory for quasilinear parabolic equation is not enough for our purpose. We use a semi-divergence structure to construct a solution. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 35C06; Secondary 35G31, 35K59, 74N20.
