Abstract
Within the boundary-layer model and by taking into account only interface kinetics (isotropic or anisotropic), we find a continuous set of "kinetic" dendrites. This solution exists at arbitrary supercooling $\Delta$ in the 2D- and 3D-axisymmetric cases and reduces to the usual dendrites with parabolic tails at $\Delta$ < 1, and "angular" dendrites at $\Delta$ > 1. In contrast with classical Ivantsov dendrites, there are upper limits for growth velocity and tip curvature at each supercooling $\Delta$ .
