I need to solve the following non-linear diffusion equation on a unit 1D 
domain:

du/dt = \nabla \dot ( D(u) \grad u)

subject to Neumann bcs at both ends. D(u)*grad(u) = f(t) at x=0, and 
D(u)*grad(u) = 0 at x=1, with a constant initial condition u(x,0) = u0

The difficulty with this problem is two fold

   - The diffusion coefficient D is a function of the field variable u,
   - Diffusion coefficient D(u) varies by 4 orders of magnitute between 
   10^-12 and 10^-16

Being 1D, the problem size is very small and I am thnking of just using 
direct solvers. However, I don't quite know how to start approaching this 
problem and how to begin the coding this in deal.ii.

I'd appreciate any thoughts/help/suggestions/guidance from the deal.II 
community.

Regards,
Krishna
