A nonlocal phase-field model with nonconstant specific heat (Q2468804)

Summary: We prove existence, uniqueness, thermodynamic consistency, global boundedness from both above and below, and continuous data dependence for a solution to an integro-differential model for nonisothermal phase transitions under nonhomogeneous mixed boundary conditions. The specific heat is allowed to depend on the order parameter, and the convex component of free energy may or may not be singular.
