We prove nonlinear asymptotic stability of steady spheres in the two-phase Stefan problem with surface tension. Our method relies on the introduction of appropriate orthogonality conditions in conjunction with a high-order energy method.
We develop a high-order energy method to prove asymptotic stability of flat steady surfaces for the Stefan problem with surface tension - also known as the Stefan problem with Gibbs-Thomson correction.
We develop a framework for a unified treatment of well-posedness for the Stefan problem with or without surface tension. In the absence of surface tension, we establish well-posedness in Sobolev spaces for the classical Stefan problem. We…

We consider the Stefan problem with surface tension, also known as the Stefan-Gibbs-Thomson problem, in an ambient space of arbitrary dimension. Assuming the radial symmetry of the initial data we introduce a novel "probabilistic" notion of…
We construct examples for the one-phase Stefan problem which show that $\alpha$-concavity of the solution is in general not preserved in time, for $0 \le \alpha <1/2$. In particular, this shows that, in contrast to the case of the heat…

The aim of this work is to study homogeneous stable solutions to the thin (or fractional) one-phase free boundary problem. The problem of classifying stable (or minimal) homogeneous solutions in dimensions $n\geq3$ is completely open. In…
