Abstract

In this paper, we consider a class of coupled systems of PDEs, denoted by (ACE)ε_{\varepsilon} for ε0 \varepsilon \geq 0 . For each ε0 \varepsilon \geq 0 , the system (ACE)ε_{\varepsilon} consists of an Allen-Cahn type equation in a bounded spacial domain Ω \Omega , and another Allen-Cahn type equation on the smooth boundary Γ:=Ω \Gamma := \partial \Omega , and besides, these coupled equations are transmitted via the dynamic boundary conditions. In particular, the equation in Ω \Omega is derived from the non-smooth energy proposed by Visintin in his monography "Models of phase transitions": hence, the diffusion in Ω \Omega is provided by a quasilinear form with singularity. The objective of this paper is to build a mathematical method to obtain meaningful L2 L^2 -based solutions to our systems, and to see some robustness of (ACE)ε_\varepsilon with respect to ε0 \varepsilon \geq 0 . On this basis, we will prove two Main Theorems 1 and 2, which will be concerned with the well-posedness of (ACE)ε_\varepsilon for each ε0 \varepsilon \geq 0 , and the continuous dependence of solutions to (ACE)ε_\varepsilon for the variations of ε0 \varepsilon \geq 0 , respectively.
