Abstract:
The well-known cubic Allen-Cahn (AC) equation is a simple gradient dynamics (or variational) model for a nonconserved order parameter field. After revising main literature results for the occurrence of different types of moving fronts, we employ path continuation to determine their bifurcation diagram in dependence of the external field strength or chemical potential. We then employ the same methodology to systematically analyze fronts for more involved AC-type models. In particular, we consider a cubic-quintic variational AC model and two different nonvariational generalizations. We determine and compare the bifurcation diagrams of front solutions in the four considered models.

When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...

When a particle moves relative to an inertial frame, the equations of motion can be expressed using rectangular components. If the motion is confined to the x-y plane, the equations having the x and y coordinates only can be used to simplify the mathematical representation.
However, when particles...
