Abstract

In this paper, a system of parabolic type initial-boundary value problems are considered. The system (S)$_\nu$ is based on the non-isothermal model of grain boundary motion by ^[38], which was derived as an extending version of the "Kobayashi--Warren--Carter model" of grain boundary motion by ^[23]. Under suitable assumptions, the existence theorem of $ L^2 $-based solutions is concluded, as a versatile mathematical theory to analyze various Kobayashi--Warren--Carter type models.
