Abstract:
In this talk we shall discuss sharp interface limits of some diffuse interface models. This is done by constructing an approximate solution from the limiting flow via matched asymptotic expansions, and then estimating its difference with the real solution which is based on a spectrum inequality of the linearized operator at the transition profile (also called optimal profile).
