Abstract
A method to solve a one-phase Stefan problem associated to the Burgers equa tion is outlined. It is shown that the problem admits an exact solution whi ch is a shock wave. The shock wave travels with the appropriate free bounda ry velocity and is found to be stable. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Scien ce B.V.
