Abstract
The present paper addresses a phase-field system modelling the dynamics of solid-liquid phase transitions of several substances coexisting in the same container. We allow for a hysteretic effect in the vector order parameter—absolute temperature relationship. Our system is subjected to an external control action constrained to a nonconvex-valued mapping. The existence of solutions for this control problem is established and some of their relaxation type properties are explored under a minimal set of requirements on the curves describing the hysteresis region of the problem.
