Compact attractors for a Stefan problem with kinetics

Michael L. Frankel & Victor Roytburd

Abstract:
We prove existence of a unique bounded classical solution for a one-phase free-boundary problem with kinetics for continuous initial conditions. The main result of this paper establishes existence of a compact attractor for classical solutions of the problem.
