The Allen-Cahn equation is a semilinear PDE which is deeply linked to the theory of minimal hypersurfaces via a singular limit. We prove curvature estimates and strong sheet separation estimates for stable solutions (building on recent work…

We consider a coupled bulk--surface Allen--Cahn system affixed with a Robin-type boundary condition between the bulk and surface variables. This system can also be viewed as a relaxation to a bulk--surface Allen--Cahn system with…
We prove convergence of suitable subsequences of weak solutions of a diffuse interface model for the two-phase flow of incompressible fluids with different densities with a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation to weak solutions of the…
Many metal manufacturing processes involve phase change phenomena, which include melting, boiling, and vaporization. These phenomena often occur concurrently. A prototypical 1D model for understanding the phase change phenomena is the…
We provide a framework to study the interfaces imposed by Dobrushin boundary conditions on the half-plane version of the Ising model on random triangulations with spins on vertices. Using the combinatorial solution by Albenque, M\'enard and…
We construct several examples related to the scaling limits of energy minimizers and gradient flows of surface energy functionals in heterogeneous media. These include both sharp and diffuse interface models. The focus is on two separate…
The process of alternately row scaling and column scaling a positive $n \times n$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic positive $n \times n$ matrix $S(A)$, called the \emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. Exact formulae for the Sinkhorn…
Our work concerns algorithms for an unweighted variant of Maximum Flow. In the All-Pairs Connectivity (APC) problem, we are given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and are tasked with computing the maximum number of edge-disjoint…
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…
By using a Cahn-Hoffman $\boldsymbol{\xi}$-vector formulation, we propose a sharp-interface approach for solving solid-state dewetting problems in two dimensions. First, based on the thermodynamic variation and smooth vector-field…
We discuss the sharp interface limit, leading to a mean curvature flow energy, for the rate function of the large deviation principle of a Glauber+Kawasaki process with speed change. We provide an explicit formula of the limiting functional…
We study the singular limit of a spatially inhomogeneous and anisotropic reaction-diffusion equation. We use a Finsler metric related to the anisotropic diffusion term and work in relative geometry. We prove a weak comparison principle and…
In this paper, we investigate a system coupled by nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Allen-Cahn equations describing a diffuse interface for two-phase flow of viscous fluids with different densities in a bounded…
We present a phase-field model for the dynamics of the interface between two inmiscible fluids with arbitrary viscosity contrast in a rectangular Hele-Shaw cell. With asymptotic matching techniques we check the model to yield the right…
We study the convergence of the system of the Allen-Cahn equations to the weak solution for the multi-phase mean curvature flow in the sense of Brakke. The Landau-Lifshitz equation in this paper can be regarded as a system of Allen-Cahn…
The interfacial diffusion associated with finite volume method (FVM) discretizations of multiphase flows creates the need for an interface sharpening mechanism. Such solutions for structured quadrilateral grids are well documented, but…
Unresolved thin-film dynamics often causes spurious coalescence in diffuse-interface simulations of multiphase flows. We address this issue by introducing a fully local repulsive near-contact flux in a conservative Allen--Cahn phase-field…
We investigate the convergence of solutions of a recently proposed diffuse interface/phase field model for cell blebbing by means of matched asymptotic expansions. It is a biological phenomenon that increasingly attracts attention by both…
When a viscous fluid partially fills a Hele--Shaw channel, and is pushed by a pressure difference, the fluid interface is unstable due to the Saffman--Taylor instability. We consider the evolution of a fluid region of finite extent, bounded…
