## Abstract

We give a general derivation of the Reynolds lubrication equation. We then state and sketch the proofs of some of the authors' recent results concerning the existence, uniqueness, and qualitative behavior of solutions to the compressible Reynolds lubrication equation. Finally, we give an application of our results to a problem in elastohydrodynamics.
