Abstract

We prove that the transition semigroup associated with the two phase Stefan problem is irreducible. The proof relies on a general result of approximate controllability for maximal monotone systems, see [1].

This was done during the stay in Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.

Partially supported by the Italian National Project MURST “Equazioni di Kolmogorov.”
