On a phase-field model with a logarithmic nonlinearity

Our aim in this paper is to study the existence of solutions to a phase-field system based on theMaxwell-Cattaneo heat conduction law, with a logarithmic nonlinearity. In particular, we prove, in one and two space dimensions, the existence of a solution which is separated from the singularities of the nonlinear term.
