Consider the problem of finding 0 O(:, ’) such that 0 < - , (1.1) (1.2) (1.3) (1.4) E(O) 0f f(z)dz, for b fixed with 0 < b < and r(z, ’) >_ r0 > 0 on [0,1] x [0, T]. In Cannon, Yanpin Lin [1] it is proved a result on existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence for this problem. In this paper we give conditions for which the solution of (1.1)-(1.4) belongs with to a Hfilder space and we prove that this solution depends continuously upon the data with respect to the corresponding Hfilder norms. Similar problems are considered in [2,3,5,6,8,9,10]. Notice that function O satisfies (1.1)-(1.4)if and only if u(z,t) O(z -), with f 0 . 76 BARRADAS AND S.

A function u(z, ) on is called a solution of problem (B), if 1) u d u are continuous in Q, 2) u is unded in 3) u satisfi (1.5)-(1.8). We notice that if solution of problem (B) u is such that u is continuous in Q and satises (1.)-(1.?), then u is a if and only if =(a, )g’() =(, ).(a, ) =(0, )(0, ) (.) or E’(’) r(b, ’)O.(b, ’) r(O, ’)O.(O, ’), (2.2) " < 7", 0 _< < T, provided E is ditferentiable.

We define a nonlinear operator V- V- as follows: For So E VT, let u be the unique solution in H+’’1+"/(T) of (1.5)-(1.7), with u=(O,t) (t), (cf [11], Theorem 5.3 p. 320).
