Abstract

In this paper, we consider a 2 x 2 hyperbolic system originates from the theory of phase dynamics. This one-phase problem can be obtained by using the Catteneo-Fourier law which is a variant of the standard Fourier law in one dimensional space. A new classical existence and uniqueness result is established by some a priori estimates using the characteristic method. The convergence of the solutions to the one of classical Stefan problems is also obtained.
