چکیده

We prove essential self-adjointness of Kolmogorov operators corresponding to gradient systems with potentials U such that DU is not square integrable with respect the invariant measure (irregular potentials). An application is given to the Cahn– Hilliard–Cook equation in dimension one. In this case the spectral gap is proved for the correspondig semigroup. We also obtain a log-Sobolev inequality.  2003 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved. Résumé On étudie certains opérateurs de Kolmogorov associés à des systèmes de type gradient ayant un potentiel U tel que DU n’est pas de carré intégrable par rapport à la mesure invariante (potentiels irréguliers). On montre que ceux-ci sont essentiellement auto-adjoints. On applique ensuite les résultats obtenus au cas de l’équation de Cahn–Hilliard–Cook en dimension 1. Dans ce cas, une inégalité de type log-Sobolev est établie ainsi que l’existence d’un trou spectral pour le semigroupe associé.  2003 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.

The Cahn-Hilliard-Cook Equation on Curved Surfaces in Three-Dimensional Space

Abstract Phase separation and coarsening is a phenomenon commonly seen in binary physical and chemical systems that occur in nature. One model which takes into account additive stochastic noise is the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook (CHC) model. Often, the surface on which phase segregation occurs is not a flat surface. With this motivation, we present a semi-implicit numerical algorithm to solve the fourth...

Coarsening kinetics from a variable-mobility Cahn-Hilliard equation: application of a semi-implicit Fourier spectral method.

An efficient semi-implicit Fourier spectral method is implemented to solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a variable mobility. The method is orders of magnitude more efficient than the conventional forward Euler finite-difference method, thus allowing us to simulate large systems for longer times. We studied the coarsening kinetics of interconnected two-phase mixtures using a Cahn-Hilliard equ...

Finite Element Methods for the Stochastic Allen-Cahn Equation with Gradient-type Multiplicative Noise

This paper studies finite element approximations of the stochastic Allen–Cahn equation with gradient-type multiplicative noise that is white in time and correlated in space. The sharp interface limit—as the diffuse interface thickness vanishes—of the stochastic Allen–Cahn equation is formally a stochastic mean curvature flow which is described by a stochastically perturbed geometric law of the ...
