Passing from bulk to bulk/surface evolution in the Allen-Cahn equation

Please always quote using this URN:urn:nbn:de:0296-matheon-9643
  • In this paper we formulate a boundary layer approximation for an Allen--Cahn-type equation involving a small parameter $\eps$. Here, $\eps$ is related to the thickness of the boundary layer and we are interested in the limit when $\eps$ tends to $0$ in order to derive nontrivial boundary conditions. The evolution of the system is written as an energy balance formulation of the L^2-gradient flow with the corresponding Allen--Cahn energy functional. By transforming the boundary layer to a fixed domain we show the convergence of the solutions to a solution of a limit system. This is done by using concepts related to Gamma- and Mosco convergence. By considering different scalings in the boundary layer we obtain different boundary conditions.
