Abstract

This paper is concerned with the mathematical study of a nonlinear system modelling an irreversible phase change problem. Uniqueness of the solution is proved using the accretivity of the system in (L1)2. Expressing one of the two unknowns as an explicit functional of the other reduces the system to a single nonlinear evolution equation and ultimately leads to an existence theorem.

In this paper the existence and uniqueness of the solution of a nonlinear system modelling some irreversible phase changes is established.
