Finite-Dimensional Attractor for a Nonequilibrium Stefan Problem with Heat Losses

英文摘要：

We study a two-phase modified Stefan problem modeling solid combustion and nonequilibrium phase transition. The problem is known to exhibit a variety of non-trivial dynamical scenarios. We develop a priori estimates and establish well-posedness of the problem in weighted spaces of continuous functions. The estimates secure sufficient decay of solutions that allows for an analysis in Hilbert spaces. We demonstrate existence of compact attractors in the weighted spaces and prove that the attractor consists of sufficiently regular functions. This allows us to show that the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is finite.
