Abstract We study the one-dimensional one-phase Stefan problem for the heat equation with a nonlinear boundary condition. We show that all solutions fall into one of three distinct types: global-in-time solutions with exponential decay, global-in-time solutions with non-exponential decay, and finite-time blow-up solutions. The classification depends on the size of the initial function. Furthermore, we describe the behavior of solutions at the blow-up time.
