We examine travelling wave solutions of the reaction-diffusion equation, $\partial_t u= R(u) + \partial_x \left[D(u) \partial_x u\right]$, with a Stefan-like condition at the edge of the moving front. With only a few assumptions on $R(u)$…

In classical continuum physics, a wave is a mechanical disturbance. Whether the disturbance is stationary or traveling and whether it is caused by the motion of atoms and molecules or the vibration of a lattice structure, a wave can be…
We consider the two dimensional free boundary Stefan problem describing the evolution of a spherically symmetric ice ball $\{r\leq \lambda(t)\}$. We revisit the pioneering analysis of [20] and prove the existence in the radial class of…
