We consider the wave equation $\varepsilon^2(-\partial_t^2 + \Delta)u + f(u) = 0$ for $0<\varepsilon\ll 1$, where $f$ is the derivative of a balanced, double-well potential, the model case being $f(u) = u-u^3$. For equations of this form,…

We describe a functional framework suitable to the analysis of the Cahn-Hilliard equation on an evolving surface whose evolution is assumed to be given \textit{a priori}. The model is derived from balance laws for an order parameter with an…

We study a Cahn--Hilliard two-phase model describing the flow of two viscoelastoplastic fluids, which arises in geodynamics. A phase-field variable indicates the proportional distribution of the two fluids in the mixture. The motion of the…

We show that interfacial nonreciprocity transforms defect dynamics in conserved scalar fields within the framework of the Nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard model. Nonreciprocal surface tension alone produces intermittently stable defects:…

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 expand a previous study [Phys. Rev. E 86, 051611 (2012)] on the conditions for occurrence of strong anisotropy (SA) in the scaling properties of two-dimensional surfaces displaying generic scale invariance. There, a natural Ansatz was…

Many systems exhibit a phase where the order parameter is spatially modulated. These patterns can be the result of a frustration caused by the competition between interaction forces with opposite effects. In all models with local…
