Abstract

We consider a system of nonlinear parabolic PDEs which includes a constraint on the time-derivative depending on the unknowns. This system is a mathematical model for irreversible phase transitions. In our phase transition model, the constraint p := p(θ, w) is a function of the temperature θ and the order parameter (state variable) w and it is imposed on the velocity of the order parameter, for instance, in such a way that p(θ, w) ≤ w tp(θ, w) + (a positive constant). We give an existence result of the problem.
