UTMS 2006 – 8 April 28 , 2006 Motion of interfaces by the Allen - Cahn type equation with multiple - well potentials
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the singular limit of the Allen–Cahn type equation with a periodic nonlinear term. We obtain that several interfaces appear when the interface thickness parameter (denoted by ε) tends to 0. We also obtain that the interfaces move by the mean curvature flow with driving force term.

The existence of global attractor for a Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation
In this paper, we consider a Cahn-Hillard/Allen-Cahn equation. By using the semigroup and the classical existence theorem of global attractors, we give the existence of the global attractor in H^k(0
متن کاملSlow motion for the nonlocal Allen–Cahn equation in n-dimensions
The goal of this paper is to study the slow motion of solutions of the nonlocal Allen–Cahn equation in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R, for n > 1. The initial data is assumed to be close to a configuration whose interface separating the states minimizes the surface area (or perimeter); both local and global perimeter minimizers are taken into account. The evolution of interfaces on a time scale ε−1 is d...
متن کاملExistence of a Solution to a Vector-valued Allen-cahn Equation with a Three Well Potential
where W : R2 → R is positive function with three local minima, given by {ci}i=1, and the angles θi, with θ3 = 2π + θ0, are determined by the potential W (for a more precise description on how these angles are determined we refer the reader to definitions (7) and (8)). In [22] an analogous result was proved by P. Sternberg when W has two minima. Later on, Bronsard, Gui and Schatzman [6] consider...
متن کاملCoarsening fronts
We characterize the spatial spreading of the coarsening process in the Allen-Cahn equation in terms of the propagation of a nonlinear modulated front. Unstable periodic patterns of the Allen-Cahn equation are invaded by a front, propagating in an oscillatory fashion, and leaving behind the homogeneous, stable equilibrium. During one cycle of the oscillatory propagation, two layers of the period...
متن کاملPrimal-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...
