Singular limit of an Allen–Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion

Perla El Kettani, Tadahisa Funaki, Danielle Hilhorst, Hyunjoon Park and Sunder Sethuraman

Vol. 4 (2022), No. 4, 719–754
Abstract

We consider an Allen–Cahn equation with nonlinear diffusion, motivated by the study of the scaling limit of certain interacting particle systems. We investigate its singular limit and show the generation and propagation of an interface in the limit. The evolution of this limit interface is governed by mean curvature flow with a novel, homogenized speed in terms of a surface tension-mobility parameter emerging from the nonlinearity in our equation.
