AbstractWe derive the quantitative modulus of continuity $$\omega(r)=\left[ p+\ln \left( \frac{r_0}{r}\right)\right]^{-\alpha (n, p)},$$ω(r)=p+lnr0r-α(n,p), which we conjecture to be optimal for solutions of the p-degenerate two-phase Stefan problem. Even in the classical case p = 2, this represents a twofold improvement with respect to the early 1980’s state-of-the-art results by Caffarelli– Evans (Arch Rational Mech Anal 81(3):199–220, 1983) and DiBenedetto (Ann Mat Pura Appl 103(4):131–176… Expand
On the logarithmic type boundary modulus of continuity for the Stefan problem
A logarithmic type modulus of continuity is established for weak solutions to a two-phase Stefan problem, up to the parabolic boundary of a cylindrical space-time domain. For the Dirichlet problem,Expand
Local continuity of weak solutions to the Stefan problem involving the singular $p$-Laplacian
We establish the local continuity of locally bounded weak solutions (temperatures) to the doubly singular parabolic equation modeling the phase transition of a material: ∂tβ(u)−∆pu 3 0 for 2N N+1 < pExpand

It is proved that weak solutions are continuous up to the parabolic boundary and quantify the continuity by deriving a modulus and these a priori regularity results are used to prove the existence of a so-called physical solution. Expand
