A quantitative modulus of continuity for the two-phase Stefan problem (Q466791)

This paper concerns the local behavior of bounded weak solutions of the degenerate two-phase Stefan problem. The main result is the derivation of the explicit, interior modulus of continuity. The author conjecture that this modulus of continuity is optimal. This derivation of the modulus of continuity represents an improvement of the existing literature on the two-phase Stefan problem even in the classical case. First, the iteration of the logarithm are discarded to reach the optimal modulus of continuity. Second, the precise value of the exponent is determined in terms of the data of the problem. Third, the degenerate case is covered as well. Finally, the authors present a comprehensive proof, which is as self-contained as possible.
