The Ginzburg-Landau functional is a phase transition model which is suitable for clustering or classification type problems. We study the asymptotics of a sequence of Ginzburg-Landau functionals with anisotropic interaction potentials on…

We discuss a model for phase transitions in which a double-well potential is singularly perturbed by possibly several terms involving different, arbitrarily high orders of derivation. We study by $\Gamma$-convergence the asymptotic…

The asymptotic behavior at infinity of oscillatory integrals is in detail investigated by using the Newton polyhedra of the phase and the amplitude. We are especially interested in the case that the amplitude has a zero at a critical point…

Inspired by Lin-Pan-Wang (Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 65(6): 833-888, 2012), we continue to study the corresponding time-independent case of the Keller-Rubinstein-Sternberg problem. To be precise, we explore the asymptotic behavior of…

For $n\ge 3$ and $0<\epsilon\le 1$, let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a bounded smooth domain and $u_\epsilon:\Omega \subset\R^n\to \mathbb R^2$ solve the Ginzburg-Landau equation under the weak anchoring boundary condition: $$\begin{cases}…

The Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm for critical phenomena is spectacularly successful whenever the critical temperature is finite and all fluctuation modes, with characteristic energies much smaller than the thermal energy, obey classical…
