    The authors consider two- and three-phase one-dimensional Stefan problems with one and two free boundaries, respectively, for the heat equations containing nonlinear terms. The automodelling solutions of these problems are studied. The first problem with unknown functions \(u(x,t)\), \(v(x,t)\), \(s(t)\) after the substitutions \(u(x,t) = \phi(x-ct)\), \(x < s(t)\), \(v(x,t) = \psi(x-ct)\), \(x > s(t)\), \(s(t) = ct\), \(c=\) const, is reduced to a problem for ordinary second-order differential equations with nonlinear terms. The second free boundary problem is reduced to a similar problem. The authors prove the existence of solutions of both obtained problems and study the properties of them.
