We present multiplicity results for mass constrained Allen-Cahn equations on a Riemannian manifold with boundary, considering both Neumann and Dirichlet conditions. These results hold under the assumptions of small mass constraint and small…
We show that, the solutions of the isoperimetric problem for small volumes are $C^{2,\alpha}$-close to small spheres. On the way, we define a class of submanifolds called pseudo balls, defined by an equation weaker than constancy of mean…
We are concerned with solutions to the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation in Riemannian manifolds. For a general class of initial condition we show non positivity of the limiting energy discrepancy. This in turn allows to prove almost…
We consider the varifold associated to the Allen--Cahn phase transition problem in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$(or $n+1$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with bounded curvature) with integral $L^{q_0}$ bounds on the Allen--Cahn mean curvature (first…
We give a multiplicity result for solutions of the Van der Waals-Cahn-Hilliard two-phase transition equation with volume constraints on a closed Riemannian manifold. Our proof employs some results from the classical Lusternik--Schnirelman…

In this paper we prove a local-in-time existence theorem for an initial-boundary value problem related to a model of temperature-dependent phase segregation that generalizes the standard Allen-Cahn's model. The problem is ruled by a system…
In this paper we study the existence of multiple-layer solutions to the elliptic Allen-Cahn equation in hyperbolic space: \[ -\Delta_{\mathbb H} u+F'(u)=0; \] here $F$ is a nonnegative double-well potential with nondegenerate minima. We…
We study the systematic numerical approximation of a class of Allen-Cahn type problems modeling the motion of phase interfaces. The common feature of these models is an underlying gradient flow structure which gives rise to a decay of an…
We consider a multi-component version of the conserved Allen-Cahn equation proposed by J. Rubinstein and P. Sternberg in 1992 as an alternative model for phase separation. In our case, the free energy is characterized by a mixing entropy…
Phase-field models such as the Allen-Cahn equation may give rise to the formation and evolution of geometric shapes, a phenomenon that may be analyzed rigorously in suitable scaling regimes. In its sharp-interface limit, the vectorial…

The Allen-Cahn functional is a well studied variational problem which appears in the modeling of phase transition phenomenon. This functional depends on a parameter $\varepsilon >0$ and is intimately related to the area functional as the…
This paper studies minimizing solutions to a two dimensional Allen-Cahn system on the upper half plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, \begin{equation*} \Delta u-\nabla_u W(u)=0, \quad u: \mathbb{R}_+^2\to \mathbb{R}^2,\ u=u_0…
The advective Cahn-Hilliard equation describes the competing processes of stirring and separation in a two-phase fluid. Intuition suggests that bubbles will form on a certain scale, and previous studies of Cahn-Hilliard dynamics seem to…
We make use of the flexibility of infinite-index solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation to show that, given any compact hypersurface $\Sigma$ of R^d, with $d\geq 4$, there is a bounded entire solution of the Allen-Cahn equation on R^d whose…
