A microscopic model for Stefan's melting and freezing problem

Probability 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We study a class of one-dimensional interacting particle systems with random boundaries as a microscopic model for Stefan's melting and freezing problem. We prove that under diffusive rescaling these particle systems exhibit a hydrodynamic behavior described by the solution of a Cauchy--Stefan problem.
