Abstract
Parabolic differential inclusions with convex constraints in a finite-dimensional space are considered with a small 'diffusion' coefficient [egr] at the elliptic term. This problem arises for instance in multicomponent phase-field systems. We prove the strong convergence of solutions as [egr] [rarr] 0 to the solution of the singular limit equation and show the connection to elementary hysteresis operators.
