Curvature driven interface evolution

H Garcke - Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker …, 2013 - Springer
Curvature driven surface evolution plays an important role in geometry, applied mathematics
and in the natural sciences. In this paper geometric evolution equations such as mean …

Introduction to Stefan-type problems

A Visintin - Handbook of differential equations: evolutionary …, 2008 - Elsevier
The classical Stefan model is a free boundary problem that represents thermal processes in
phase transitions just by accounting for heat-diffusion and exchange of latent heat. The …

A note on a model system with sudden directional diffusion

PB Mucha, P Rybka - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2012 - Springer
We study qualitative properties of solutions to a monodimensional problem u_t-(u_x+ sgn
u_x) _x= 0 with the Dirichlet boundary conditions. Such a system presents a key analytical …

Facet bending in the driven crystalline curvature flow in the plane

Y Giga, P Rybka - Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2008 - Springer
We study simple cases of crystalline driven curvature flow with spatially nonuniform driving
force term. We assume special monotonicity properties of the driving term, which are …

Stability of facets of crystals growing from vapor

Y Giga, P Rybka - Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems, 2006 - aimsciences.org
Consider a Stefan-like problem with Gibbs-Thomson and kinetic effects as a model of crystal
growth from vapor. The equilibrium shape is assumed to be a regular circular cylinder. Our …

A new look at equilibria in Stefan-type problems in the plane

PB Mucha, P Rybka - SIAM journal on mathematical analysis, 2008 - SIAM
We study steady states of Stefan-type problems in the plane with the Gibbs–Thomson
correction involving a general anisotropic energy density function. By a local analysis we …

Stability of facets of self-similar motion of a crystal

Y Giga, P Rybka - 2005 - projecteuclid.org
We are concerned with a quasi-steady Stefan type problem with Gibbs-Thomson relation
and the mobility term which is a model for a crystal growing from supersaturated vapor. The …

On the role of kinetic and interfacial anisotropy in the crystal growth theory

MH Giga, Y Giga - Interfaces and Free Boundaries, 2013 - ems.press
A planar anisotropic curvature flow equation with constant driving force term is considered
when the interfacial energy is crystalline. The driving force term is given so that a closed …

Facet bending driven by the planar crystalline curvature with a generic nonuniform forcing term

Y Giga, P Rybka - Journal of Differential Equations, 2009 - Elsevier
We study crystalline driven curvature flow with spatially nonuniform driving force term. We
assume special monotonicity properties of the driving term, which are motivated by our …

On the Stefan problem with surface tension in the framework

PB Mucha - 2005 - projecteuclid.org
We prove the existence of unique regular local in time solutions to the quasi-stationary one-
phase Stefan problem with the Gibbs-Thomson correction. The result is optimal with respect …
