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…

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 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…
