Abstract
A model for the evolution of phase boundaries reminiscent of the phase-field model is considered. The equation related to conservation of thermal energy is diffusive and coupled to an equation for the order parameter, which contains a nonlinear convolution operator, related to the limit of an interacting particle model with Kac-potential. Under diffusive rescaling the solutions converge to solutions of the Stefan problem with kinetic undercooling and surface tension.
