Review text

The author studies a nonlinear system \[ \begin{gathered} [\theta + \lambda(w)]_t - \Delta \alpha(\theta) + \mu \theta = f(t,x)\quad \text{ in }\quad (0,T_0) \times \Omega, \\ w_t - \kappa \Delta w + \beta(w) + g(w) - \alpha(\theta) \lambda'(w) \in 0\quad\text{ in }\quad(0,T_0) \times \Omega, \\ \frac{\partial \alpha(\theta)}{\partial n} + n_0 \alpha(\theta) = h(t,x)\quad \text{ on }\quad (0,T_0) \times \partial \Omega, \\ \frac{\partial w}{\partial n} = 0 \quad\text{ on }\quad (0,T_0) \times \partial \Omega, \\ \theta(0,\cdot) = \theta(T_0,\cdot),\;w(0,\cdot) = w(T_0,\cdot) \quad\text{ on }\quad \Omega. \end{gathered} \] Here \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^N, \;1\leq N \leq 3\), \(\alpha(\theta) = -\frac{1}{\theta}\) for \(\theta > 0\), \(\beta\) is a maximal monotone graph in \(\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}\) with a bounded domain \(D(\beta),\;\overline D(\beta) = [\sigma_*,\sigma^*]\), \(\lambda\) is a smooth convex function on \(\overline D(\beta)\), \(g\) is a locally Lipschitz continuous function on \(\mathbb{R}\), \(n_0,\;\kappa,\;\mu\) are positive constants, \(T_0 > 0\), \(f \in L^2((0,T_0);L^2(\Omega)),\;h\in L^2((0,T_0);L^2(\partial \Omega))\) are given data. The existence of a periodic solution is proved. An abstract theory of nonlinear evolution inclusions with a subdifferential of a convex functional in a Hilbert space is used. The system arises from solid-liquid phase transition. The threshold values \(\sigma_*\) and \(\sigma^*\) of \(w\) correspond to pure solid and pure liquid, respectively, \(\sigma_* < w < \sigma^*\) corresponds to a mixture.
