“…Now, one essential drawback of the Fourier law is that it predicts that thermal signals propagate at an infinite speed, which violates causality (the so-called paradox of heat conduction, see [17]). To overcome this drawback, or at least to account for more realistic features, several alternatives to the Fourier law, based, e.g., on the Maxwell-Cattaneo law or recent laws from thermomechanics, have been proposed and studied, in the context of the Caginalp phase-field systems, in [28], [29], [32], [34], [35], [36], [37] and [38].…”
