We derive the fractional version of one-phase one-dimensional Stefan model. We assume that the diffusive flux is given by the time-fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative, i.e. we impose the memory effect in the examined model.
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…
