We introduce a semidiscrete mixed finite element approximation for the single-phase linear Stefan problem and show the unique existence of the approximation. And the optimal rate of convergence in $L^2$ and $H^1$ norms are derived.

In this paper, we apply finite element Galerkin method to a single-phase quasi-linear Stefan problem with a forcing term. We consider the existence and uniqueness of a semidiscrete approximation and optimal error estimates in $L_2$, $L_{\infty}$, $H_1$ and $H_2$ norms for semidiscrete Galerkin approximations we derived.

Based on Landau-type transformation, a Stefan problem with non-linear free boundary condition is transformed into a system consisting of parabolic equation and the ordinary differential equations. Semidiscrete approximations are constructed. Optimal orders of convergence of semidiscrete approximation in $L_2$, $H^1$ and $H^2$ normed spaces are derived.
