We consider a system of a variational inequality with gradient
constraint depending on the temperature, coupled with the heat equation. We
prove existence of solution of this system by approximating it by a system of equations and using a fixed point argument.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) - Pluriannual Funding Program, projecto UT-Austin/MAT/0035/2008.Centro de Matemática da Universidade do Minh
