Motion of interfaces for a damped hyperbolic Allen-Cahn equation
Abstract
Consider the Allen-Cahn equation , where is a double well potential with wells of equal depth, located at . There are a lot of papers devoted to the study of the limiting behavior of the solutions as the diffusion coefficient , and it is well known that, if the initial datum takes the values and in the regions and , then the "interface" connecting and moves with normal velocity equal to the sum of its principal curvatures, i.e. the interface moves by mean curvature flow. This paper concerns with the motion of the inteface for a damped hyperbolic Allen-Cahn equation, in a bounded domain of , for or . In particular, we focus the attention on radially simmetric solutions, studying in detail the differences with the classic parabolic case, and we prove that, under appropriate assumptions on the initial data and , the interface moves by mean curvature as also in the hyperbolic framework.
