We address the numerical approximation of the two-phase Stefan problem and discuss an adaptive finite element method based on rigorous a posteriori error estimation and refinement/coarsening. We also investigate how to restrict coarsening for the resulting method to be stable and convergent. We review implementation issues associated with bisection and conclude with simulations of a persistent corner singularity, for which adaptivity is an essential tool.
