In this paper an iterative minimization method is proposed to approximate the minimizer to the double-well energy functional arising in the phase-field theory. The method is based on a quadratic functional posed over a nonempty closed…
The initial boundary value problem for a Cahn-Hilliard system subject to a dynamic boundary condition of Allen-Cahn type is treated. The vanishing of the surface diffusion on the dynamic boundary condition is the point of emphasis. By the…

It is known that there is a strong relation between the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation and the mean curvature flow, in the sense that the parabolic Allen--Cahn equation can be considered as a ``diffused" mean curvature flow. In this work,…
The topic of this paper is a semi-linear, energy sub-critical, defocusing wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = - |u|^{p -1} u$ in the 3-dimensional space with $3\leq p<5$. We generalize inward/outward energy theory and weighted…
In this short remark on a previous paper \cite{SZ25}, we continue the study of Allen-Cahn equations associated with Ginzburg-Landau energies \begin{equation*} J(v,\Omega)=\int_{\Omega}\Big\{F(\nabla v,v,x)+W(v,x)\Big\}dx, \end{equation*}…
We use a min-max procedure on the Allen-Cahn energy functional to construct geodesics on closed, 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, as motivated by the work of Guaraco. Borrowing classical blowup and curvature estimates from geometric…
We refine the asymptotic estimates for minimizers of a class of nonlocal energy functionals of the form \[ \frac{1}{4} \iint_{\R^{2n} \setminus (\R^n \setminus \Omega)^2} \snr{u(x) - u(y)}^2 K(x - y) \,dx\,dy + \int_\Omega W(u(x)) \,dx, \]…
We consider the defocusing, energy subcritical wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = -|u|^{p-1} u$ in 4 to 6 dimensional spaces with radial initial data. We define $w=r^{(d-1)/2} u$, reduce the equation above to one-dimensional…
This paper is concerned with well-posedness of the Cahn-Hilliard equation subject to a class of new dynamic boundary conditions. The system was recently derived in Liu-Wu (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 233 (2019), 167-247) via an energetic…
We study the gradient flow of the Allen-Cahn equation with fixed boundary contact angle in Euclidean domains for initial data with bounded energy. Under general assumptions, we establish both interior and boundary convergence properties for…
In this paper we consider a semi-linear, energy sub-critical, defocusing wave equation $\partial_t^2 u - \Delta u = - |u|^{p -1} u$ in the 3-dimensional space with $p \in [3,5)$. We prove that if initial data $(u_0, u_1)$ are radial so that…
We consider an Allen-Cahn type equation with a bistable nonlinearity associated to a double-well potential whose well-depths can be slightly unbalanced, and where the coefficient of the nonlinear reaction term is very small. Given rather…
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…
In this article we study eternal solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation in the 3-sphere, in view of the connection between the gradient flow of the associated energy functional, and the mean curvature flow. We construct eternal integral…
We study global monotone solutions of the free boundary problem that arises from minimizing the energy functional $I(u) = \int |\nabla u|^2 + V(u)$, where $V(u)$ is the characteristic function of the interval $(-1,1)$. This functional is a…
We derive the interfacial tension of a semi infinite two phase binary mixture of partially miscible fluids in contact with a planar surface. In our model we take a surface free energy term into account omitted by Cahn [J. W. Cahn, J.…
We consider a thin multi-domain of $\mathbb R^N$, with $N\geq 2$, consisting of a vertical rod upon a horizontal disk. In this thin multi-domain, we introduce a bulk energy density of the kind $W(D^2U)$, where $W$ is a continuous function…
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for semi-linear wave equations with structural damping term $\nu (-\Delta)^2 u_t$, where $\nu >0$ is a constant. As being mentioned in [8,10], the linear principal part brings both the diffusion…
