Abstract:
In this paper, an approximate analytical solution of the bistable Allen-Cahn equation is given. The Allen-Cahn equation is a mathematical model to study the phase separation process in binary alloys and emerged as a convection-diffusion equation in fluid dynamics or reaction-diffusion equation in material sciences. A phase transition occurs at the interface when one material changes its composition or structure. The homotopy perturbation method and homotopy analysis method are used for finding the approximate solution. These methods don't need the use of any transformation, discretization, unrealistic restriction and assumption. The error estimates are computed by comparing with a numerical method, and a good agreement is observed.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
