A Stefan-type stochastic moving boundary problem

Motivated by applications in economics and finance, in particular to the modeling of limit order books, we study a class of stochastic second-order PDEs with non-linear Stefan-type boundary interaction. To solve the equation we transform the problem from a moving boundary problem into a stochastic evolution equation with fixed boundary conditions. Using results from interpolation theory we obtain existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions, extending results of Kim, Zheng and Sowers. In addition, we formulate conditions for existence of global solutions and provide a refined analysis of possible blow-up behavior in finite time.
