Abstract
We consider one-dimensional parabolic free boundary value problem with a nonlocal (integro-differential) condition on the free boundary. Results on Cm-smoothness of the free boundary are obtained. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition for infinite differentiability of the free boundary is given.
