On the modified crystalline Stefan problem with singular data (Q1614728)

The author considers the behavior of solutions of the modified Stefan problem in the plane for polygonal interfaces. He is particulary interested in a solution near a singularity of either a loss of a facet or breaking of a facet. The author establishes a precise regularity result if a facet disappears and uses it to establish the existence of a weak solution with singular data, i.e., when some of the zero-crystalline-curvature facets have zero length.
