Abstract:Abstract. We establish the saddle point property of the focusing selfsimilar solution of a free boundary problem for the heat equation with free boundary conditions given by u = 0 and ∂u ∂ν = 1.

Every solution of a linear elliptic equation on a bounded domain may be considered as an equilibrium of a free boundary problem. The free boundary problem consists of the corresponding parabolic equation on a variable unknown domain with free boundary conditions prescribing both Dirichlet and Neumann data. We establish a rigorous stability analysis of such equilibria, including the construction of stable and unstable manifolds. For this purpose we transform the free boundary problem to a fully nonlinear and nonlocal parabolic problem on a fixed domain with fully nonlinear lateral boundary conditions and we develop the general theory for such problems. As an illustration we give two examples, the second being the focussing flame problem in combustion theory.
