The Stefan PDE system is a representative model for thermal phase change phenomena,
such as melting and solidification, arising in numerous science and engineering processes …

The so-called Stefan system describes the dynamical model of the liquid–solid phase
change in materials ranging from water and ice in the polar caps to metal casting and …

Neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's
disease, limit the functionality of neurons. A recent medical therapy, Chondroitinase ABC …

This paper presents an observer-based event-triggered boundary control strategy for the
one-phase Stefan problem, utilising the position and velocity measurements of the moving …

We show the boundary controllability to stationary states of the Stefan problem with two
phases and in one dimension in the space variable. In the case of an initial condition that is …

High-relative-degree control barrier functions play a prominent role in automotive safety and
in robotics. In this article, we launch a generalization of this concept for PDE control, treating …

We introduce a dynamic event-triggering mechanism for regulating the axonal growth of a
neuron. We apply boundary actuation at the soma (the part of a neuron that contains the …

This article proposes a novel control algorithm of a thermal phase-change process and
shows its experimental verification using paraffin as a phase-change material (PCM). The …

This contribution presents a backstepping-based state feedback design for the tracking
control of a two-phase Stefan problem which is encountered in the Vertical Gradient Freeze …

The vertical gradient freeze crystal growth process is the main technique for the production
of high quality compound semiconductors that are vital for today's electronic applications. A …
