Abstract
We consider the Stefan problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions depending on a hysteresis functional where the free boundary is involved. We show existence of a positive valueT and existence of aT-periodic solution of the problem, provided the Stefan number is sufficiently small and the hysteresis functional is described by the elementary rectangular hysteresis loop. If in addition the Preisach hysteresis operator is Lipschitz-continuous we prove that every periodic solution must be stationary.
