The practical interest of such phenomenology is evident and has deeply influenced the technological development of our society, stimulating intense mathematical research in this area. This book analyzes and approximates some models and related partial differential equation problems that involve phase transitions in different contexts and include dissipation effects UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=210571 ER -
