Vanishing Specific Heat for the Classical Solutions of a Multidimensional Stefan Problem with Kinetic Condition

In this paper we prove that the multidimensional Hele-Shaw problem with kinetic condition at the free boundary is the limit case of the Stefan problem with kinetic condition at the free boundary in the classical sense when the specific heat e goes to zero. The method is the use of a fixed point theorem; the key step is to construct a suitable function space in which we can get the existence and uniform estimates with respect to e > 0 at the same time as for classical solutions of the multidimensional Stefan problem with kinetic condition at the free boundary. For the sake of simplicity, we only consider one-phase problems in three space dimensions, although the method used here is also applicable for two-phase problems and any space dimensions.
