We consider the Lyapunov functional, of the rescaled Extended Fisher-Kolmogorov equation This is a fourth order generalization of the Fisher–Kolmogorov or Allen–Cahn equation. We prove that if ε → 0, then tends to the area functional in the sense of Γ-limits, where the transition energy is given by the one-dimensional kink of the Extended Fisher–Kolmogorov equation.

In [8], Rooney defines a class of complex-valued functions ζ each of which is analytic in a vertical strip α(ζ)< Res < β(ζ) in the complex s-plane and satisfies certain growth conditions as |Im s| →∞ along fixed lines Re s = c lying within this strip. These conditions mean that the functionsfulfil the requirements of the one-dimensional Mihlin-Hörmander theorem (see [6, p. 417]) and so can be regarded as Fourier multipliers for the Banach spaces . Consequently, each function gives rise to a family of bounded operators W[ζ,σ] σ ∈(α(ζ),β(ζ)), on , 1<p<∞.

Many disordered random systems in applications can be described by N randomly coupled Ito stochastic differential equations in : where is a sequence of independent copies of the one-dimensional Brownian motion W and ( is a sequence of independent copies of the ℝ p -valued random vector ξ. We show that under suitable conditions on the functions b, σ, K and Φ the dynamical behaviour of this system in the N → (limit can be described by the non-linear stochastic differential equation where P(t, dx dy) is the joint probability law of ξ and X(t).

A deferred correction method is utilized to increase the order of spatial accuracy of the Crank-Nicolson scheme for the numerical solution of the one-dimensional heat equation. The fourth-order methods proposed are the easier development and can be solved by using Thomas algorithms. The stability analysis and numerical experiments have been limited to one-dimensional heat-conducting problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions and initial data.


We consider a parabolic double obstacle problem which is a version of the Allen-Cahn equation u t = Δ u — ϵ -2 ψ '( u ) in Ω x (0, ∞), where Ω is a bounded domain, ϵ is a small constant, and ψ is a double well potential; here we take ψ such that ψ ( u ) = (1 — u 2 ) when | u | ≤ 1 and ψ ( u ) = ∞ when | u | > 1. We study the asymptotic behaviour, as ϵ → 0, of the solution of the double obstacle problem. Under some natural restrictions on the initial data, we show that after a short time (of order ϵ 2 |ln ϵ |), the solution takes value 1 in a region Ω + t and value — 1 in Ω - t , where the region Ω ( Ω + t U Ω - t ) is a thin strip and is contained in either a O ( ϵ |ln ϵ |) or O ( ϵ ) neighbourhood of a hypersurface Γ t which moves with normal velocity equal to its mean curvature. We also study the asymptotic behaviour, as t → ∞, of the solution in the one-dimensional case. In particular, we prove that the ω -limit set consists of a singleton.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for the one-dimensional p-Laplacian differential equation, subject to the multipoint boundary condition by applying a monotone iterative method.
