We consider the long-range random field Ising model in dimension $d = 1, 2$, whereas the long-range interaction is of the form $J_{xy} = |x-y|^{-\alpha}$ with $1< \alpha < 3/2$ for $d=1$ and with $2 < \alpha \leq 3$ for $d = 2$. Our main…
In this work, a new class of vector-valued phase field models is presented, where the values of the phase parameters are constrained by a convex set. The generated phase fields feature the partition of the domain into patches of distinct…
