In this paper we deal with the one-dimensional Stefan problemut−uxx =s˙(t)δ(x−s(t)) in ℝ ;× ℝ+, u(x, 0) =u0(x)with kinetic condition s˙(t)=f(u) on the free boundary F={(x, t), x=s(t)}, where δ(x) is the Dirac function. We proved in [1] that if [mid ]f(u)[mid ][les ]Meγ[mid ]u[mid ] for some M>0 and γ∈(0, 1/4), then there exists a global solution to the above problem; and the solution may blow up in finite time if f(u)[ges ] Ceγ1[mid ]u[mid ] for some γ1 large. In this paper we obtain the optimal exponent, which turns out to be √2πe. That is, the above problem has a global solution if [mid ]f(u)[mid ][les ]Meγ[mid ]u[mid ] for some γ∈(0, √2πe), and the solution may blow up in finite time if f(u)[ges ] Ce√2πe[mid ]u[mid ].

AbstractThe classical Stefan problem is one of the most studied free boundary problems of evolution type. Recently, there has been interest in treating the corresponding free boundary problem with nonlocal diffusion. We start the paper by reviewing the main properties of the classical problem that are of interest to us. Then we introduce the fractional Stefan problem and develop the basic theory. After that we center our attention on selfsimilar solutions, their properties and consequences. We first discuss the results of the one-phase fractional Stefan problem, which have recently been studied by the authors. Finally, we address the theory of the two-phase fractional Stefan problem, which contains the main original contributions of this paper. Rigorous numerical studies support our results and claims.

Abstract A one-dimensional fractional one-phase Stefan problem with a temperature boundary condition at the fixed face is considered by using the Riemann–Liouville derivative. This formulation is more convenient than the one given in Roscani and Santillan (Fract. Calc. Appl. Anal., 16, No 4 (2013), 802–815) and Tarzia and Ceretani (Fract. Calc. Appl. Anal., 20, No 2 (2017), 399–421), because it allows us to work with Green’s identities (which does not apply when Caputo derivatives are considered). As a main result, an integral relationship between the temperature and the free boundary is obtained which is equivalent to the fractional Stefan condition. Moreover, an exact solution of similarity type expressed in terms of Wright functions is also given.

The dynamics and oscillatory instabilities of multi-spike solutions to the one-dimensional Gray-Scott reaction–diffusion system on a finite domain are studied in a particular parameter regime. In this parameter regime, a formal singular perturbation method is used to derive a novel ODE–PDE Stefan problem, which determines the dynamics of a collection of spikes for a multi-spike pattern. This Stefan problem has moving Dirac source terms concentrated at the spike locations. For a certain subrange of the parameters, this Stefan problem is quasi-steady and an explicit set of differential-algebraic equations characterizing the spike dynamics is derived. By analysing a nonlocal eigenvalue problem, it is found that this multi-spike quasi-equilibrium solution can undergo a Hopf bifurcation leading to oscillations in the spike amplitudes on an O(1) time scale. In another subrange of the parameters, the spike motion is not quasi-steady and the full Stefan problem is solved numerically by using an appropriate discretization of the Dirac source terms. These numerical computations, together with a linearization of the Stefan problem, show that the spike layers can undergo a drift instability arising from a Hopf bifurcation. This instability leads to a time-dependent oscillatory behaviour in the spike locations.

We investigate the stability of travelling wave solutions of the one-dimensional under-cooled Stefan problem. We find a necessary and sufficient condition on the initial datum under which the free boundary is asymptotic to a travelling wave front. The method applies also to other types of solutions.

SynopsisThis paper presents some regularity results on the solution and on the free boundary for the one phase Stefan problem with zero specific heat in the framework of the variational inequalities formulation. In particular we show the Hölder continuity of the free boundary. Estimates on the rate of convergence when the specific heat vanishes are given for the variational solutions and for the free boundaries.
