We study globally bounded entire minimizers $u:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^m$ of Allen-Cahn systems for potentials $W\geq 0$ with $\{W=0\}=\{a_1,...,a_N\}$ and $W(u)\sim |u-a_i|^\alpha$ near $u=a_i$, $0<\alpha<2$. Such solutions are,…
We prove a theorem for the growth of the energy of bounded, globally minimizing solutions to a class of semilinear elliptic systems of the form $\Delta u=\nabla W(u)$, $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 2$, with $W:\mathbb{R}^m\to \mathbb{R}$,…
We consider the wave equation $\varepsilon^2(-\partial_t^2 + \Delta)u + f(u) = 0$ for $0<\varepsilon\ll 1$, where $f$ is the derivative of a balanced, double-well potential, the model case being $f(u) = u-u^3$. For equations of this form,…
We study the asymptotic behavior of Dirichlet minimizers to the Allen--Cahn equation on manifolds with boundary, and we relate the Neumann data to the geometry of the boundary. We show that Dirichlet minimizers are asymptotically local in…

In the paper, the problems of approximate controllability are studied for the control system $w_t=\Delta w$, $w(0,x_2,t)=u(x_2,t)$, $x_1\in\mathbb R_+=(0,+\infty)$, $x_2\in\mathbb R$, $t\in(0,T)$, where $u$ is a control belonging to a…
We study bounded, monotone solutions of$\Delta u=W'(u)$ in the whole of$\R^n$, where$W$ is a double-well potential. We prove that under suitable assumptions on the limit interface and on the energy growth, $u$ is $1$D. In particular,…
An entire solution of the Allen-Cahn equation $\Delta u=f(u)$, where $f$ has exactly three zeros at $\pm 1$ and 0, is balanced and odd, e.g. $f(u)=u(u^2-1)$, is called a $2k$-ended solution if its nodal set is asymptotic to $2k$ half lines,…

Let $W:R^m\rightarrow R$ be a nonnegative potential with exactly two nondegenerate zeros $a_-\neq a_+\in R^m$. We assume that there are$ N\geq 1$ distinct heteroclinic orbits connecting $a_-$ to $a_+$ represented by maps $ u_1,\ldots,u_N$…
