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.…

An asymptotic analysis for a system with equation and dynamic boundary condition of Cahn-Hilliard type is carried out as the coefficient of the surface diffusion acting on the phase variable tends to 0, thus obtaining a forward-backward…
We consider a mass conserved Allen-Cahn equation $u_t=\Delta u+ \e^{-2} (f(u)-\e\lambda(t))$ in a bounded domain with no flux boundary condition, where $\e\lambda(t)$ is the average of $f(u(\cdot,t))$ and $-f$ is the derivative of a double…
We show that the mean curvature flow for a closed and rotationally symmetric surface can be formulated as an evolution problem consisting of an evolution equation for the square of the function whose graph is rotated and two ODEs describing…
