Phase transitions occur in several processes of physical and engineering interest. This text deals with the analysis of models of solid-liquid systems. Its main purpose is to offer an introduction to the classical Stefan problem and to some of its physically motivated extensions.

Hysteresis effects occur in science and engineering: plasticity, ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity are well-known examples. This volume provides a self-contained and comprehensive introduction to the analysis of hysteresis models, and illustrates several new results in this field.
