It is well known that minimizers of the Allen-Cahn-type functional \[ J_\epsilon(u):=\int_\Omega\frac{\epsilon|\nabla u|^2}{2}+\frac{W(u)}{\epsilon}, \] where $W$ is a double-well potential, resemble minimal surfaces in the sense that their…
Reaction-diffusion equations (RDEs) model the spatiotemporal evolution of a density field $u(\vec{x},t)$ according to diffusion and net local changes. Usually, the diffusivity is positive for all values of $u,$ which causes the density to…
