Abstract.
A model for Stefan problems in materials with memory is considered. This model is mainly characterized by a nonlinear Volterra integrodifferential equation of hyperbolic type. Colli and Grasselli proved the uniqueness of a weak solution under the natural assumptions on data and the existence of a strong solution for smoother data. Taking advantage of these two results and assuming just the hypotheses ensuring uniqueness, the existence of a weak solution is here shown.
