Uniqueness of the maximal solution of the supercooled Stefan problem in 1D
Abstract
We prove uniqueness of the maximal weak solutions to the supercooled Stefan problem in 1 dimension. This follows by showing that in 1 dimension, the optimal solution of the corresponding free target optimal transport problem given in \cite{GeneralDimensions}, is independent of the choice of the cost function. Moreover, we show that the supercooled Stefan problem lacks monotonicity and $L^1$-Lipschitz stability, which are available in a similar problem considered in a previous paper \cite{freetarget}. However, in $1$ dimension, it has stability in the weak convergence of measures.
