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.

AbstractWe review some fractional free boundary problems that were recently considered for modeling anomalous phase-transitions. All problems are of Stefan type and involve fractional derivatives in time according to Caputo’s definition. We survey the assumptions from which they are obtained and observe that the problems are nonequivalent though all of them reduce to a classical Stefan problem when the order of the fractional derivatives is replaced by one. We further show that a simple heuristic approach built upon a fractional version of the energy balance and the classical Fourier’s law leads to a natural generalization of the classical Stefan problem in which time derivatives are replaced by fractional ones.
