A generalized Cahn-Hilliard model in a bounded interval of the real line with no-flux boundary conditions is considered. The label "generalized" refers to the fact that we consider a concentration dependent mobility, the $p$-Laplace…
In this paper, we consider a non-linear fourth-order evolution equation of Cahn-Hilliard-type on evolving surfaces with prescribed velocity, where the non-linear terms are only assumed to have locally Lipschitz derivatives. High-order…
The alternative approach to the displacement of gas/liquid equilibrium is developed on the basis of the Clapeyron equation. The phase transition in the system with well-established properties is taken as a reference process to search for…
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 consider the parabolic one-dimensional Allen-Cahn equation $$u_t= u_{xx}+ u(1-u^2)\quad (x,t)\in \mathbb{R}\times (-\infty, 0].$$ The steady state $w(x) =\tanh (x/\sqrt{2})$, connects, as a "transition layer" the stable phases $-1$ and…

We consider coarsening dynamics associated with a Burgers--Cahn--Hilliard system modeling a two-phase flow in one space dimension. Our emphasis is on the effect that coupling between the phase and fluid dynamics has on coarsening rates, and…

Over the past few decades, numerous N-phase incompressible diffuse-interface flow models with non-matching densities have been proposed. Despite aiming to describe the same physics, these models are generally distinct, and an overarching…
The well-posedness for a system of partial differential equations and dynamic boundary conditions is discussed. This system is a sort of transmission problem between the dynamics in the bulk $\Omega $ and on the boundary $\Gamma$. The…

Pair interactions between active particles need not follow Newton's third law. In this work we propose a continuum model of pattern formation due to non-reciprocal interaction between multiple species of scalar active matter. The classical…
In this paper, we consider a class of coupled systems of PDEs, denoted by (ACE)$_{\varepsilon}$ for $ \varepsilon \geq 0 $. For each $ \varepsilon \geq 0 $, the system (ACE)$_{\varepsilon}$ consists of an Allen-Cahn type equation in a…
This paper is concerned with a diffuse interface model for the gas-liquid phase transition. The model consists the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with van der Waals equation of state and a modified Allen-Cahn equation. The global…

We study the growth of a periodic pattern in one dimension for a model of spinodal decomposition, the Cahn-Hilliard equation. We particularly focus on the intermediate region, where the non-linearity cannot be negected anymore, and before…
The Cahn-Hilliard equation is related with a number of interesting physical phenomena like the spinodal decomposition, phase separation and phase ordering dynamics. On the other hand this equation is very stiff an the difficulty to solve it…
