We consider a prototypical nonlinear parabolic equation whose flux has three distinguished features: it is nonlinear with respect to both the unknown and its gradient, it is homogeneous, and it depends only on the direction of the gradient.…
The starting point of our analysis is a class of one-dimensional interacting particle systems with two species. The particles are confined to an interval and exert a nonlocal, repelling force on each other, resulting in a nontrivial…
We consider a porous media equation with balanced bistable reactions, equipped with some general nonlinear boundary condition. When the coefficient of the reaction term is much larger than that of the diffusion term, we see that, besides…
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…

We study the "stiff pressure limit" of a nonlinear drift-diffusion equation, where the density is constrained to stay below the maximal value one. The challenge lies in the presence of a drift and the consequent lack of monotonicity in…
In this article, we study the behavior of the Abels-Garcke-Gr\"un Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard diffuse-interface model for binary-fluid flows, as the diffuse-interface thickness passes to zero. We consider this so-called sharp-interface…
We study a coarsening model describing the dynamics of interfaces in the one-dimensional Allen-Cahn equation. Given a partition of the real line into intervals of length greater than one, the model consists in constantly eliminating the…
This paper addresses the approximation of the mean curvature flow of thin structures for which classical phase field methods are not suitable. By thin structures, we mean surfaces that are not domain boundaries, typically higher codimension…
We investigate the fractional diffusion limit of a Linear Boltzmann equation with heavy-tailed velocity equilibrium in a half-space with Maxwell boundary conditions. We derive a new confined version of the fractional Laplacian and show…
This paper investigates the connection between the effective, large scale behavior of Allen-Cahn energy functionals in periodic media and the sharp interface limit of the associated $L^{2}$ gradient flows. By introducing a Percival-type…
We investigate a novel Marangoni-induced instability that arises exclusively in diffuse fluid interfaces, absent in classical sharp-interface models. Using a validated phase-field Navier-Stokes-Allen-Cahn framework, we linearize the…
In this paper, we study the large time behavior and sharp interface limit of the Cauchy problem for compressible Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system with interaction shock waves in the same family. This system is an important mathematical model…
We further study the interfaces arising in a situation of inhomogeneity. More precisely, we identify a characteristic length for the gradient percolation model, that enables us to tighten previous estimates established for it. This allows…
We analyse the self-diffusiophoresis of a spherical particle animated by a nonuniform chemical reaction at its boundary. We consider two models of solute absorption, one with a specified distribution of interfacial solute flux, and one…
We consider a two-phase flow of two incompressible, viscous and immiscible fluids which are separated by a sharp interface in the case of a simple phase transition. In this model the interface is no longer material and its evolution is…
