Second-Order Γ-limit for the Cahn–Hilliard Functional
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to solve a long standing open problem, namely, the asymptotic development of order 2 by Γ-convergence of the mass-constrained Cahn–Hilliard functional. This is achieved by introducing a novel rearrangement technique, which works without Dirichlet boundary conditions.

A Note Regarding Second-Order Γ-limits for the Cahn–Hilliard Functional
This note completely resolves the asymptotic development of order 2 by Γ-convergence of the mass-constrained Cahn–Hilliard functional, by showing that one of the critical assumptions of the authors’ previous work [10] is unnecessary.
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of Second Order Nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard-Type Functionals
In this paper the study of a nonlocal second order Cahn–Hilliard-type singularly perturbed family of functions is undertaken. The kernels considered include those leading to Gagliardo fractional seminorms for gradients. Using Γ convergence the integral representation of the limit energy is characterized leading to an anisotropic surface energy on interfaces separating different phases.
متن کاملSome Asymptotic Results For Phase Transition Models
This thesis analyzes two types of phase transition models, namely the Cahn–Hilliard model and the Becker–Döring model. In the Cahn–Hilliard setting, this thesis establishes a second-order Γ-convergence result for the mass-constrained Cahn–Hilliard energy. This is obtained using a new variant of the Pòlya–Szegő inequality, along with some new regularity results for the isoperimetric function. Fo...
متن کاملHomogenization of Cahn – Hilliard - type equations via evolutionary Γ - convergence
In this paper we discuss two approaches to evolutionary Γ-convergence of gradient systems in Hilbert spaces. The formulation of the gradient system is based on two functionals, namely the energy functional and the dissipation potential, which allows us to employ Γ-convergence methods. In the first approach we consider families of uniformly convex energy functionals such that the limit passage o...
متن کاملSmall Volume-Fraction Limit of the Diblock Copolymer Problem: II. Diffuse-Interface Functional
We present the second of two articles on the small volume-fraction limit of a nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard functional introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. After having established the results for the sharp-interface version of the functional [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 42 (2010), pp. 1334–1370], we consider here the full diffuse-interface functional and address the limit in whic...
