Abstract:This article is concerned with the multi-dimensional one-phase Stefan problem, which belongs to the class of moving boundary problems. We suggest to reformulate the classical Stefan problem as a shape optimization problem, consisting of an objective functional for the moving boundary and a partial differential equation corresponding to a heat type equation. Minimizing the objective functional subject to the differential equation under consideration is equivalent to solving the Stefan problem. In order to apply… Show more
