In this paper we consider the Allen-Cahn equation with constraint. In 1994, Chen and Elliott studied the asymptotic behavior of the solution of the Allen-Cahn equation with constraint. They proved that the zero level set of the solution converges to the classical solution of the mean curvature flow under the suitable c…

We define a (mean curvature flow) entropy for Radon measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$ or in a compact manifold. Moreover, we prove a monotonicity formula of the entropy of the measures associated with the parabolic Allen-Cahn equations. If the ambient manifold is a compact manifold with non-negative sectional curvature and pa…

We allow for perturbations that are square-integrable with respect to the diffuse surface area measure. We give a suitable generalized formulation for forced mean curvature flow and ap…

Proves generic nondegeneracy for solutions under volume constraint in closed manifolds.

We make use of the flexibility of infinite-index solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation to show that, given any compact hypersurface $Σ$ of R^d, with $d\geq 4$, there is a bounded entire solution of the Allen-Cahn equation on R^d whose zero level set has a connected component diffeomorphic (and arbitrarily close) to a re…

In this paper, we consider bounded positive solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds without boundary. We derive gradient estimates for those solutions. As an application, we get a Liouville type theorem on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature.

We prove a differential Harnack inequality for the solution of the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation $\frac{\partial f}{\partial t}=\triangle f-(f^3-f)$ on a closed n-dimensional manifold. As a corollary we find a classical Harnack inequality. We also formally compare the standing wave solution to a gradient estimate of M…

We study a singular limit problem of the Allen-Cahn equation with Neumann boundary conditions and general initial data of uniformly bounded energy. We prove that the time-parametrized family of limit energy measures is Brakke's mean curvature flow with a generalized right angle condition on the boundary.

This research proves that two min-max theories for hypersurfaces are equivalent.

The Allen-Cahn equation is a semilinear PDE which is deeply linked to the theory of minimal hypersurfaces via a singular limit. We prove curvature estimates and strong sheet separation estimates for stable solutions (building on recent work of Wang-Wei) of the Allen-Cahn equation on a 3-manifold. Using these, we are ab…

We give multiplicity results for the solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation, with an asymmetric double well potential of Van der Waals-Allen--Cahn--Hilliard type, satisfying a linear volume constraint, on a bounded Lipschitz domain $Ω\subset\mathds R^N$. The number of solutions is estimated in terms of topological …

In this paper we consider the Allen-Cahn equation $$ -Δu = u-u^3 \ \mbox{in} \ {\mathbb R}^3 $$ We prove that for each $k\in\left( \sqrt{2},+\infty\right),$ there exists a solution to the equation which has growth rate $k$, i.e. $\| u-H(\cdot -k \ln r + c_k) \|_{L^\infty} \to 0$ The main ingredients of our proof con…

We prove the existence of global minimizers of Allen-Cahn equation in dimensions $8$ and above. More precisely, given any strictly area-minimizing Lawson's cones, there are global minimizers whose nodal sets are asymptotic to the cones. As a consequence of Jerison-Monneau's program we establish the existence of many co…

In this paper, we will address to the following parabolic equation $u_t=Δ_fu + F(u)$ on a smooth metric measure space with Bakry-Émery curvature bounded from below. Here $F$ is a differentiable function defined in $\mathbb{R}$. Our motivation is originally inspired by gradient estimates of Allen-Cahn and Fisher equ…

We prove that given a minimal hypersurface $Γ$ in a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary, if all the Jacobi fields of $Γ$ are generated by ambient isometries, then we can find solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation $-\varepsilon^2Δu +W'(u)=0$ on $M$, for sufficiently small $\varepsilon>0$, whose nodal sets co…

We construct new families of two-ended $O(m)\times O(n)$-invariant solutions to the Allen- Cahn equation Δu+u-u3=0 in $\mathbb{R}^{N+1}$, with $N\ge 7$, whose zero level sets diverge logarithmically from the Lawson cone at infinity. The construction is based on a careful study of the Jacobi-Toda system on a given $O(m)…

We provide asymptotic behavior which shows that, as $α\to 0$, the level sets of the soluti…

In this paper we establish a uniform $C^{2,θ}$ estimate for level sets of stable solutions to the singularly perturbed Allen-Cahn equation in dimensions $n\leq 10$ (which is optimal). The proof combines two ingredients: one is the infinite dimensional reduction method which enables us to reduce the $C^{2,θ}$ estimate …

We consider minimal surfaces $M$ which are complete, embedded and have finite total curvature in $\R^3$, and bounded, entire solutions with finite Morse index of the Allen-Cahn equation $Δu + f(u) = 0 \hbox{in} \R^3$. Here $f=-W'$ with $W$ bistable and balanced, for instance $W(u) =\frac 14 (1-u^2)^2$. We assume that …
