Superabundance of Stationary Solutions for the Discrete Allen-cahn Equation

نویسنده

چکیده

The discrete Allen-Cahn equation is a spatially discrete analogue of the Allen-Cahn equation, a parabolic partial differential equation proposed as a simple model for phase separation in materials. In some sense, the solutions of the discrete equation display a richer variety of behaviors than do the corresponding solutions of the continuous equation. In particular, the number of stationary solutions of the two equations may not agree, even when the lattice of the discrete equation is extremely fine. We will discuss this phenomenon, as well as its implications in areas such as dynamical metastability. AMS(MOS) subject classification: 58F21, 34C35

Traveling Wave Solutions of some Nonlinear Evolution Equations by Sine-Cosine Method

In this paper, we established traveling wave solutions of the nonlinear evolution equation. The sine-cosine method was used to construct travelling wave solutions of the Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation and Cahn-Allen equation. Graphical interpretation shows that obtained results include periodic and Soliton wave solutions. It is also shown that for α =−1, solutions of Fitzhugh-Nagumo equation coincide...

A Numerical Method for the Modified Vector-valued Allen–cahn Phase-field Model and Its Application to Multiphase Image Segmentation

In this paper, we present an efficient numerical method for multiphase image segmentation using a multiphase-field model. The method combines the vector-valued Allen– Cahn phase-field equation with initial data fitting terms containing prescribed interface width and fidelity constants. An efficient numerical solution is achieved using the recently developed hybrid operator splitting method for ...

Localized Patterns in Periodically Forced Systems

Spatially localized, time-periodic structures are common in pattern-forming systems, appearing in fluid mechanics, chemical reactions, and granular media. We examine the existence of oscillatory localized states in a PDE model with single frequency time dependent forcing, introduced in [22] as phenomenological model of the Faraday wave experiment. In this study, we reduce the PDE model to the f...
