The formal sharp-interface asymptotics in a degenerate Cahn-Hilliard model for viscoelastic phase separation with cross-diffusive coupling to a bulk stress variable are shown to lead to non-local lower-order counterparts of the classical…

The dynamics of sandpile models are mapped to discrete interface equations. We study in detail the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld model, a stochastic model with random thresholds, and the Manna model. These are, respectively, discretizations of the…

Using stability arguments, this Brief Report suggests that a term that enhances the surface tension in the presence of large height fluctuations should be included in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. A one-loop renormalization group…

We study a reversible continuous-time Markov dynamics of a discrete $(2+1)$-dimensional interface. This can be alternatively viewed as a dynamics of lozenge tilings of the $L\times L$ torus, or as a conservative dynamics for a…

We extend our 2+1 dimensional discrete growth model (PRE 79, 021125 (2009)) with conserved, local exchange dynamics of octahedra, describing surface diffusion. A roughening process was realized by uphill diffusion and curvature dependence.…

Diffusion models are a new class of generative models that have shown outstanding performance in image generation literature. As a consequence, studies have attempted to apply diffusion models to other tasks, such as speech enhancement. A…

We consider the (discrete) parabolic Anderson model $\partial u(t,x)/\partial t=\Delta u(t,x) +\xi_t(x) u(t,x)$, $t\geq 0$, $x\in \mathbb{Z}^d$. Here, the $\xi$-field is $\mathbb{R}$-valued, acting as a dynamic random environment, and…

We analyze the convergence of a perturbed circular interface for the two-phase Mullins-Sekerka evolution in flat two-dimensional space. Our method is based on the gradient flow structure of the evolution and captures two distinct regimes of…

A diffused-interface approach based on the Allen-Cahn phase field equation is developed within a high-order Discontinuous Galerkin framework. The interface capturing technique is based on the balance between explicit diffusion and…
