We obtain sharp weighted estimates for solutions of the equation $\partial$ u = f in a lineally convex domain of finite type. Precisely we obtain estimates in the spaces L p ($\Omega$,$\delta$ $\gamma$), $\delta$ being the distance to the…

We consider the equation $\e^{2}\Delta u=(u-a(x))(u^2-1)$ in $\Omega$, $\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} =0$ on $\partial \Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a smooth and bounded domain in $\R^n$, $\nu$ the outer unit normal to $\pa\Omega$, and $a$ a…

We define and study fractional versions of the well-known Gamma subordinator $\Gamma :=\{\Gamma (t),$ $t\geq 0\},$ which are obtained by time-changing $% \Gamma $ by means of an independent stable subordinator or its inverse. Their…

We investigate the Allen-Cahn system \begin{equation*} \Delta u-W_u(u)=0,\quad u:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^2, \end{equation*} where $W\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^2,[0,+\infty))$ is a potential with three global minima. We establish the…
We present several asymptotic results concerning the non-local Massari Problem for sets with prescribed mean curvature. In particular, we show that the fractional Massari functional $\Gamma$-converges to the classical one, and this…
The Allen-Cahn action functional is related to the probability of rare events in the stochastically perturbed Allen-Cahn equation. Formal calculations suggest a reduced action functional in the sharp interface limit. We prove in two and…

We consider a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\alpha$, $0<\alpha <1,$ and we prove that ``flat free boundaries" are $C^{1,\gamma}$. We thus extend the known result for the case $\alpha=1/2.$
This paper deals with the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for the fractional Cahn-Hilliard equation. The main results consist of global (in time) existence of weak solutions, characterization of parabolic smoothing effects (implying under proper…
We introduce a new measure of coarseness for characterizing phase separation processes such as those described by Cahn--Hilliard equations. An advantage of our measure is that it remains consistent throughout the evolution, including for…

The formation of codimension-one interfaces for multi-well gradient-driven problems is well-known and established in the scalar case, where the equation is often referred to as the Allen-Cahn equation. The proofs rely for a large on a…
We prove a half-space Bernstein theorem for Allen-Cahn equation. More precisely, we show that every solution $u$ of the Allen-Cahn equation in the half-space $\overline{\mathbb{R}^n_+}:=\{(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n:\,x_1\geq 0\}$…
We discuss the numerical implementation of two related representations of fermionic density matrices which have been introduced in Annals of Physics 370, 12 (2016). In both of them, the density matrix is expanded in a basis of Bargmann…
In this paper, we propose a variable time-step linear relaxation scheme for time-fractional phase-field equations with a free energy density in general polynomial form. The $L1^{+}$-CN formula is used to discretize the fractional…
We deal with symmetry properties for solutions of nonlocal equations of the type $(-\Delta)^s v= f(v)\qquad {in $\R^n$,}$ where $s \in (0,1)$ and the operator $(-\Delta)^s$ is the so-called fractional Laplacian. The study of this nonlocal…
We study a coarsening model describing the dynamics of interfaces in the one-dimensional Allen-Cahn equation. Given a partition of the real line into intervals of length greater than one, the model consists in constantly eliminating the…
