Γ-convergence for Nonlocal Phase Transitions
We discuss the Γ-convergence, under the appropriate scaling, of the energy functional ‖u‖Hs(Ω) + ∫ Ω W (u) dx, with s ∈ (0, 1), where ‖u‖Hs(Ω) denotes the total contribution from Ω in the Hs norm of u, and W is a double-well potential. When s ∈ [1/2, 1), we show that the energy Γ-converges to the classical minimal surface functional – while, when s ∈ (0, 1/2), it is easy to see that the functio...
متن کاملNonlinear Impurity Modes in Homogeneous and Periodic Media
We analyze the existence and stability of nonlinear localized waves described by the Kronig-Penney model with a nonlinear impurity. We study the properties of such waves in a homogeneous medium, and then analyze new effects introduced by periodicity of the medium parameters. In particular, we demonstrate the existence of a novel type of stable nonlinear band-gap localized states, and also revea...
متن کاملPeriodic structures in lipid monolayer phase transitions.
Periodic patterns are observed when supported lipid monolayers doped with low concentrations of fluorescent lipid probes are observed with epi-fluorescence microscopy. Monolayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine were examined on air-water interfaces and also on alkylated glass coverslips. The patterns are formed by periodic arrays of solid-phase lipid domains in equilibrium with fluid-phase l...
متن کاملPhase transitions in homogeneous biopolymers: basic concepts and methods
Phase transitions in homogeneous biopolymers: basic concepts and methods. The basic models of helix-coil transitions in biomolecules are introduced. These include phenomenological, zipper (Bragg-Zimm) models of polypeptides, loop-entropy (Poland-Scheraga) and Hamiltonian (Peyrard-Bishop) models of homogeneous DNA denaturation. The transfer integral approach to one-dimensional thermodynamics is ...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in a Logistic Metapopulation Model with Nonlocal Interactions.
The presence of one or more species at some spatial locations but not others is a central matter in ecology. This phenomenon is related to ecological pattern formation. Nonlocal interactions can be considered as one of the mechanisms causing such a phenomenon. We propose a single-species, continuous time metapopulation model taking nonlocal interactions into account. Discrete probability kernel...
