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 inverse one-phase Stefan problem in one dimension, aimed at identifying the unknown time-dependent heat flux P(t) with a known moving boundary position s(t), is investigated. A previous study [16] attempted to reconstruct the unknown…

This paper deals with the exact controllability to the trajectories of the one--phase Stefan problem in one spatial dimension. This is a free-boundary problem that models solidification and melting processes. It is assumed that the physical…
We study self-similar solutions of a multi-phase Stefan problem, first in the case of one space variable, and then in the radial multidimensional case. In both these cases we prove that a nonlinear algebraic system for determination of the…
We develop a new variational formulation of the inverse Stefan problem, where information on the heat flux on the fixed boundary is missing and must be found along with the temperature and free boundary. We employ optimal control framework,…

We investigate the one-dimensional growth of a solid into a liquid bath, starting from a small crystal, using the Guyer-Krumhansl and Maxwell-Cattaneo models of heat conduction. By breaking the solidification process into the relevant time…
This paper presents results for the sampled-data boundary feedback control to the Stefan problem. The Stefan problem represents a liquid-solid phase change phenomenon which describes the time evolution of a material's temperature profile…
We complete the Solomon-Wilson-Alexiades's mushy zone model (Letters Heat Mass Transfer, 9 (1982), 319-324) for the one-phase Lam\'e-Clapeyron-Stefan problem. We obtain explicit solutions when a convective or heat flux boundary condition is…
We consider a probabilistic formulation of a singular two-phase Stefan problem in one space dimension, which amounts to a coupled system of two McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations. In the financial context of systemic risk, this…
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. Furthermore,…
Phase field equations describe the novel approach to the Stefan problems. We calculate these equations numerically performed in two-dimensions. We take full advantage of the phase field parameter $\varphi$ to track the interface on which…
In this paper, we formulate a continuum theory of solidification within the context of finite-strain coupled thermoelasticity. We aim to fill a gap in the existing literature, as the existing studies on solidification typically decouple the…
The classical one-phase Stefan problem (without surface tension) allows for a continuum of steady state solutions, given by an arbitrary (but sufficiently smooth) domain together with zero temperature. We prove global-in-time stability of…
We study a nonlocal version of the two-phase Stefan problem, which models a phase transition problem between two distinct phases evolving to distinct heat equations. Mathematically speaking, this consists in deriving a theory for…
We present a finite-element approximation for the one-sided Stefan problem and the one-sided Mullins--Sekerka problem, respectively. The problems feature a fully anisotropic Gibbs--Thomson law, as well as kinetic undercooling. Our…
