Hysteretic dynamics of phase interfaces in bilinear forward-backward diffusion equations

Hysteretic dynamics of phase interfaces in bilinear forward-backward diffusion equations

We study single-interface solutions to a free boundary problem that couples bilinear bulk diffusion to the Stefan condition and a hysteretic flow rule for phase boundaries. We introduce a time-discrete approximation scheme and establish its convergence in the limit of vanishing step size. The main difficulty in our proof are …
