摘要

Classes of moving boundary problems of Stefan-type are here shown to be exactly solvable in terms of classical Airy functions both for the linearised and solitonic Korteweg–de Vries equations. In the latter case, a Miura transformation is applied to a class of Airy-type similarity solutions derived via a Painlevé II reduction of the mKdV equation. Reciprocal transformations are then applied to obtain, in turn, Airy-type solution of associated moving boundary problems for both a nonlinear evolution equation of magma theory and a novel reciprocal Korteweg–de Vries equation which incorporates a source term.
