Generation of Interface for an Allen-Cahn Equation with Nonlinear Diffusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note, we consider a nonlinear diffusion equation with a bistable reaction term arising in population dynamics. Given a rather general initial data, we investigate its behavior for small times as the reaction coefficient tends to infinity: we prove a generation of interface property.

A Numerical Method for the Modified Vector-valued Allen–cahn Phase-field Model and Its Application to Multiphase Image Segmentation
In this paper, we present an efficient numerical method for multiphase image segmentation using a multiphase-field model. The method combines the vector-valued Allen– Cahn phase-field equation with initial data fitting terms containing prescribed interface width and fidelity constants. An efficient numerical solution is achieved using the recently developed hybrid operator splitting method for ...

متن کاملMotion by anisotropic mean curvature as sharp interface limit of an inhomogeneous and anisotropic Allen-Cahn equation
We consider the spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic reactiondiffusion equation ut = m(x) −1 div[m(x)ap(x,∇u)] + εf(u), involving a small parameter ε > 0 and a bistable nonlinear term whose stable equilibria are 0 and 1. We use a Finsler metric related to the anisotropic diffusion term and work in relative geometry. We prove a weak comparison principle and perform an analysis of both the gen...
متن کاملOptimal Control for Allen-Cahn Equations Enhanced by Model Predictive Control
The Allen-Cahn equation is a simple model of a nonlinear reaction-diffusion process. It is often used to model interface motion in time, e.g. phase separation in alloys. It has applications in many areas including material sciences, biology, geology, as well as image processing. We will consider a simple scalar Allen-Cahn equation subject to distributed control. Here, the nonlinear reaction ter...
متن کاملThe singular limit of the Allen-Cahn equation and the FitzHugh-Nagumo system
We consider an Allen-Cahn type equation of the form ut = ∆u + εf(x, t, u), where ε is a small parameter and f(x, t, u) = f(u) − εg(x, t, u) a bistable nonlinearity associated with a double-well potential whose well-depths can be slightly unbalanced. Given a rather general initial data u0 that is independent of ε, we perform a rigorous analysis of both the generation and the motion of interface....
