Abstract: We prove an existence result for an initial-boundary value problem which models a perturbation of a phase transition phenomenon with supercooling effects. When the perturbation parameter goes to 0, an asymptotic analysis is performed. It leads to an existence result, in the framework of Young measures, for a slight modification of the original problem.
