Existence and geometry of a free boundary problem for the heat equation

Andrew French Acker and Kirk Lancaster

Vol. 148 (1991), No. 2, 207–224
Abstract

A periodic (in t) free boundary problem for the one-dimensional heat equation is examined. The existence and regularity of the (unique) solution is established and the geometry of the free boundary is shown to be no more complicated than the geometry of the fixed boundary.
