A Stefan problem on an evolving surface

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We formulate a Stefan problem on an evolving hypersurface and study the well-posedness of weak solutions given L1 data. To do this, we first develop function spaces and results to handle equations on evolving surfaces in order to give a natural treatment of the problem. Then we consider the existence of solutions for Linfty data; this is done by regularisation of the nonlinearity. The regularised problem is solved by a fixed point theorem and then uniform estimates are obtained in order to pass to the limit. By using a duality method we show continuous dependence which allows us to extend the results to L1 data.
