physical  interpretation.  Equalities 
(2.7 
)hold, 
if 
1) 
plan filtration 
is 
considered,  gravity being not  taken into 
2) 
liquids are of  the 
similar 
density; 
3) 
a

homogeneous  in the direction

Remark 
2. 
From  the theorem 
it 
follows that identities (2.5),(2.5*) 
actually hold  with coefficients 
= 
a+ 
E 
and 
C 
= 
bs 
but not 
those extended  over 
s 
. 
Remark 
3. 
If 
an initial and  boundary  saturation distribution 
sa- 
tisfies the  conditions 
v

in 
filtration admit  the fol-

then, when  assumptions  (2.7*)  are realized according to inequali- 
ties (2.6*)  there are no  stagnant  zones  in the flow,  where 
limit 
values 
s=i),'l 
are reached.  Problem 
I 
in 
this case 
is 
called a 
regular problem  (in equation  (1.7)

) 
are regular. 
Generally only inequalities (2.6)  hold 
and 
stagnation zones with 
residual values 
of 
saturation may  appear 
s 
= 
0,l 
Equation  (1.7) 
degenerates 
(a 
2d) 
and,  accordingly,  problem 
I 
is 
called sin- 
gular.

Compactness  principle  for a  non-stationary  problem  solution 
The  solution of 
a 
singular problem 
I 
is 
found  as a 
limit 
of  a 
solution sequence 
s 
'(x,t)  of  regular problems  a(x,s)

For  this upurpose we  show  that one  can  isolate 
a 
con- 
vergence  subsequence  from the sequence 
(5' 
(x,t) 
} 
.
