Non-local Allen-Cahn systems: Analysis and a primal dual active set method
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show existence and uniqueness of a solution for the non-local vector-valued Allen-Cahn variational inequality in a formulation involving Lagrange multipliers for local and non-local constraints. Furthermore, we propose and analyze a primal-dual active set method for local and non-local vector-valued Allen-Cahn variational inequalities. Convergence of the primal-dual active set algorithm is shown by interpreting the approach as a semi-smooth Newton method and numerical simulations are presented demonstrating its efficiency.

Primal-dual active set methods for Allen-Cahn variational inequalities
This thesis aims to introduce and analyse a primal-dual active set strategy for solving Allen-Cahn variational inequalities. We consider the standard Allen-Cahn equation with non-local constraints and a vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation with and without non-local constraints. Existence and uniqueness results are derived in a formulation involving Lagrange multipliers for local and non-local con...

متن کاملAllan-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard variational inequalities solved with Optimization Techniques
Parabolic variational inequalities of Allen-Cahn and CahnHilliard type are solved using methods involving constrained optimization. Time discrete variants are formulated with the help of Lagrange multipliers for local and non-local equality and inequality constraints. Fully discrete problems resulting from finite element discretizations in space are solved with the help of a primal-dual active ...
متن کاملPreconditioning for Allen-Cahn variational inequalities with non-local constraints
The solution of Allen-Cahn variational inequalities with mass constraints is of interest in many applications. This problem can be solved both in its scalar and vector-valued form as a PDE-constrained optimization problem by means of a primal-dual active set method. At the heart of this method lies the solution of linear systems in saddle point form. In this paper we propose the use of Krylov-s...
