The formation of codimension-one interfaces for multiwell 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 vectorial case in contrast is quite…
In this short note we present new results on a higher-dimensional generalization of De~Giorgi's conjecture for Allen--Cahn type equations, focusing on dimensions $n \ge 9$. Although counterexamples are known in this regime, our goal is to…
We study the systematic numerical approximation of a class of Allen-Cahn type problems modeling the motion of phase interfaces. The common feature of these models is an underlying gradient flow structure which gives rise to a decay of an…
We study how the propagation speed of interfaces in the Allen-Cahn phase field model for phase transformations in solids consisting of the elasticity equations and the Allen-Cahn equation depends on two parameters of the model. The two…

The Allen-Cahn functional is a well studied variational problem which appears in the modeling of phase transition phenomenon. This functional depends on a parameter $\varepsilon >0$ and is intimately related to the area functional as the…
In this paper, we prove even symmetry and monotonicity of certain solutions of Allen-Cahn equation in a half plane. We also show that entire solutions with {\it finite Morse index} and {\it four ends} must be evenly symmetric with respect…
We present a set of linear, second order, unconditionally energy stable schemes for the Allen-Cahn equation with nonlocal constraints that preserves the total volume of each phase in a binary material system. The energy quadratization…
This paper introduces a generalized matrix-valued Allen--Cahn model, where the unknown matrix-valued field belongs to $\mathbb{R}^{m_1\times m_2}$ with dimension $m_1\geq m_2$. By taking different values of $m_1$ and $m_2$, this model…
This paper is concerned with a fully nonlinear variant of the Allen-Cahn equation with strong irreversibility, where each solution is constrained to be non-decreasing in time. Main purposes of the paper are to prove the well-posedness,…
We investigate the monotonicity method for fractional semilinear elliptic equations with power type nonlinearities. We prove that if-and-only-if monotonicity relations between coefficients and the derivative of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map…
We consider a variational model for heterogeneous phase separation, based on a diffuse interface energy with moving wells. Our main result identifies the asymptotic behavior of the first variation of the phase field energies as the width of…

This paper considers a one-dimensional generalized Allen-Cahn equation of the form \[ u_t = \varepsilon^2 (D(u)u_x)_x - f(u), \] where $\varepsilon>0$ is constant, $D=D(u)$ is a positive, uniformly bounded below diffusivity coefficient that…
We consider solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation in the whole Grushin plane and we show that if they are monotone in the vertical direction, then they are stable and they satisfy a good energy estimate. However, they are not necessarily…

The derivation of the Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations is based on the Clausius-Duhem inequality. This is not a derivation in the strict sense of the word, since other phase field equations can be fomulated satisfying this inequality.…
A time-fractional Allen-Cahn equation with volume constraint is first proposed by introducing a nonlocal time-dependent Lagrange multiplier. Adaptive linear second-order energy stable schemes are developed for the proposed model by…
