Boundary value problem for a phase transition model

 1 Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni, Università di Milano Bicocca, via R. Cozzi 55, 20125 Milano, Italy

We consider the boundary value problem for the phase transition (PT) model, introduced in [4] and in [7]. By using the wave-front tracking technique, we prove existence of solutions when the initial and boundary conditions have finite total variation.
