On the Hölder-continuity of solutions of a nonlinear parabolic variational inequality
A description of the short time behavior of solutions of the Allen–Cahn equation with a smoothened additive noise is presented. The key result is that in the sharp interface limit solutions move according to motion by mean curvature with an additional stochastic forcing. This extends a similar result of Funaki [Acta Math. Sin (Engl. Ser.)15 (1999) 407–438] in spatial dimension n=2 to arbitrary dimensions.
We study the potential which minimizes the fundamental gap of the Schrödinger operator under the total mass constraint. We consider the relaxed potential and prove a regularity result for the optimal one, we also give a description of it. A consequence of this result is the existence of an optimal potential under L1 constraints.
This paper deals with linear partial differential-algebraic equations (PDAEs) which have a hyperbolic part. If the spatial differential operator satisfies a Gårding-type inequality in a suitable function space setting, a perturbation index can be defined. Theoretical and practical examples are considered.
