Droplet Minimizers for the Cahn - Hilliard Free Energy Functional
We prove theorems characterizing the minimizers for the Cahn-Hilliard free energy functional, which is used to describe the liquid vapor phase transition (or the 2 state magnetization transition). In particular, we exactly determine the critical density for droplet formation, and the geometry of the droplets.

We study the structure of the constrained minimizers of the Gates-Lebowitz-Penrose freeenergy functional FGLP(m), non-local functional of a density field m(x), x ∈ TL, a d-dimensional torus of side length L. At low temperatures, FGLP is not convex, and has two distinct global minimizers, corresponding to two equilibrium states. Here we constrain the average density L ∫ TL m(x)dx to be a fixed v...

We show that a recently developed method for generating bounds for the discrete energy states of the non-hermitian −ix3 potential (Handy 2001) is applicable to complex rotated versions of the Hamiltonian. This has important implications for extension of the method in the analysis of resonant states, Regge poles, and general bound states in the complex plane (Bender and Boettcher (1998)).

Abstract We develop the ∂̄-approach to inverse scattering at fixed energy in dimensions d ≥ 3 of [Beals, Coifman 1985] and [Henkin, Novikov 1987]. As a result we propose a stable method for nonlinear approximate finding a potential v from its scattering amplitude f at fixed energy E > 0 in dimension d = 3. In particular, in three dimensions we stably reconstruct n-times smooth potential v with s...
