| contents | In this study, we propose a parametric finite element method for a degenerate multi-phase Stefan problem with triple junctions. This model describes the energy-driven motion of a surface cluster whose distributional solution was studied by Garcke and Sturzenhecker. We approximate the weak formulation of this sharp interface model by an unfitted finite element method that uses parametric elements for the representation of the moving interfaces. We establish existence and uniqueness of the discrete solution and prove unconditional stability of the proposed scheme. Moreover, a modification of the original scheme leads to a structure-preserving variant, in that it conserves the discrete analogue of a quantity that is preserved by the classical solution. Some numerical results demonstrate the applicability of our introduced schemes. |
