β¦ Synopsis
The problem of controlling the heatflow at one boundary of a one-dimensional system, by manipulating the temperature at the other boundary is considered. By the use of equations based on the theory of d@erential forms, linear relationships are derived between the moments of the input and output functions; by means of these equations it is proved that the space of heat Jlow functions at a boundary due to admissible controlfunctions at the other boundary is dense in L,[O, T].

Three general methods are developed for solving moving-boundary problems which are governed by diffusional processes such as heat and mass transfer. Examples of such problems include melting, evaporation, and ablation. A method based upon a Riemann-Volterra integration of the diffusion equation lead
