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.

Development of sustainable manufacturing system is a key research area to realise the Sustainable Development Goal of any country. In this research work we have developed a model for development of a sustainable manufacturing process using fuzzy-AHP. The fuzzy-AHP technique is used to determine the effect of various factors affecting the sustainability of a product. The study shows that, adopti...

We study electric field driven deracemization in an achiral liquid crystal through the formation and coarsening of chiral domains. It is proposed that deracemization in this system is a curvature-driven process. We test this prediction using the recently obtained exact result for the distribution of hull-enclosed areas in two-dimensional coarsening with nonconserved scalar order parameter dynam...

Selecting the best mining method among many alternatives is a multicriteria decision making problem. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the implementation of an integrated approach that employs AHP and PROMETHEE together for selecting the most suitable mining method for the "Coka Marin" underground mine in Serbia. The related problem includes five possible mining methods and eleven criteri...

Abstract. We develop a new infinite dimensional gluing method for fractional elliptic equations. In Part I, as a model problem, we construct a solution of the fractional Allen–Cahn equation vanishing on a rotationally symmetric surface which resembles a catenoid and has sub-linear growth at infinity. In Part II, we construct counterexamples to De Giorgi Conjectures to fractional Allen-Cahn equa...

Purpose: To reduce the subjective prejudice and uncertainty in evaluating product quality. Design/methodology/approach: AHP method is used to analyze the structure of product quality evaluation problem and determine weights for evaluation criteria. After structure judge matrix, sequencing calculation and concordance examination, evaluation methods such as fuzzy synthesis evaluation are used to ...

Neicu et al. observed experimentally spontaneous formation of the long-range orientational order and large-scale vortices in a system of vibrated macroscopic rods. We propose a phenomenological theory of this phenomenon based on a coupled system of equations for local rods density and tilt. The density evolution is described by the modified Cahn-Hilliard equation, while the tilt is described by...
