We study perturbations of the Allen–Cahn equation and prove the convergence to forced mean curvature flow in the sharp interface limit. We allow for perturbations that are square-integrable with respect to the diffuse surface area measure. We give a suitable generalized formulation for forced mean curvature flow and apply previous results for the Allen–Cahn action functional. Finally we discuss...

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...

Methods: A total of 25 fresh-frozen cadaveric shoulders were randomized into 5 suture configuration groups: single-row repair with simple stitch technique; single-row repair with modified Mason-Allen technique; double-row Mason-Allen technique; doublerow cross-bridge technique; and double-row suture bridge technique. Load and displacement were recorded at 100 Hz until failure. Stiffness and bon...

genetic variability concealed in natural populations is the evolutionary Tg material of Mendelian populations. How the genetic variability increases through recombination is important in obtaining an understanding of the genetic structure of Drosophila populations. In fact, this problem has been studied in natural and artificial populations of several species of Drosophila (D. pseudoobscura: SP...
