Abstract:

Hildebrand et al. (1999) proposed an adsorbate-induced phase transition model. For this model, Takei et al. (2005) found several stationary and evolutionary patterns by numerical simulations. Due to bistability of the system, there appears a phase separation phenomenon and an interface separating these phases. In this paper, we introduce the equation describing the motion of two interfaces in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and discuss an application. Moreover, we prove the existence of the traveling front solution which approximates the shape of the solution in the neighborhood of the interface.
