A Center Manifold Analysis for the Mullins–Sekerka Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Mullins Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for hypersurfaces, which arises as a singular limit for the Cahn Hilliard equation. We show that classical solutions exist globally and tend to spheres exponentially fast, provided that they are close to a sphere initially. Our analysis is based on center manifold theory and on maximal regularity. 1998 Academic Press

Two-sided Mullins-Sekerka flow
The (two-sided) Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for closed hypersurfaces, which was originally proposed as a model for phase transitions of materials of negligible specific heat. Under this evolution the propagating interfaces maintain the enclosed volume while the area of the interfaces decreases. We will show by means of an example that the Mullins-Sekerka flow does not pr...
متن کاملOne - sided Mullins - Sekerka Flow Does Not Preserve Convexity ∗ Uwe
The Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for hypersurfaces, which arises as a singular limit for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Assuming the existence of sufficiently smooth solutions we will show that the one-sided Mullins-Sekerka flow does not preserve convexity. Introduction The Mullins-Sekerka flow is a nonlocal generalization of the mean curvature flow arising from physics [10,...
متن کاملCrossover in coarsening rates for the monopole approximation of the Mullins-Sekerka model with kinetic drag
The Mullins-Sekerka sharp-interface model for phase transitions interpolates between attachment-limited and diffusion-limited kinetics if kinetic drag is included in the Gibbs-Thomson interface condition. Heuristics suggest that the typical length scale of patterns may exhibit a crossover in coarsening rate from l(t) ∼ t1/2 at short times to l(t) ∼ t1/3 at long times. We establish rigorous, uni...
متن کاملLoss of convexity for a modified Mullins-Sekerka model arising in diblock copolymer melts†
This modified (two-sided) Mullins-Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for closed hypersurfaces, which appears as a singular limit of a modified Cahn-Hilliard equation describing microphase separation of diblock copolymer. Under this evolution the propagating interfaces maintain the enclosed volumes of the two phases. We will show by means of an example that this model does not preserve ...
متن کاملCenter manifold analysis and Hopf bifurcation of within-host virus model
A mathematical model of a within-host viral infection is presented. A local stability analysis of the model is conducted in two ways. At first, the basic reproduction number of the system is calculated. It is shown that when the reproduction number falls below unity, the disease free equilibrium (DFE) is globally asymptotically stable, and when it exceeds unity, the DFE is unstable and there ex...
