Continuity of the temperature in a multi-phase transition problem (Q2170986)

In this paper, the authors show that locally bounded, local weak solutions to a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation, which models the multi-phase transition of a material, are locally continuous. In this model, the enthalpy of the physical system is represented by a maximal monotone graph \(\beta\) The effect of the \(p\)-Laplacian type diffusion is also considered. With respect to the existing literature, the present work represents a step forward, because an arbitrary number of jumps of \(\beta\), and not just a single discontinuity, and because it is the first time that a modulus is explicitly stated for a so general \(\beta\). They prove this interesting result refining DiBenedetto's techniques.
