All global bifurcation diagrams of stationary solutions to a phase field model (Q6171923)

The authors consider bifurcation diagrams of stationary solutions to a phase field model and investigate all the global bifurcation diagrams of stationary solutions to the model in the 1-dimension case. They find that bifurcation diagrams are surprisingly rich in variety depending on latent heat and the initial total enthalpy. They observe that bifurcation diagrams include the secondary bifurcation point where symmetry breaking occurs, and curves which connect a limit of boundary layer solutions to the other limit of internal layer solutions.
