We study variational inequalities for a non-isothermal phase field model of the Penrose-Fife type. We consider time-dependent constraints for the order parameter and the Dirichlet boundary condition for the temperature.
Keywords: variational inequalities, Nonlinear parabolic PDE, phase transitions..
