      The authors consider an Allen-Cahn type equation of the form \(u_{t}=\triangle u+\varepsilon^{-2}f^{\varepsilon}(x,t,u)\), where \(\varepsilon\) is a small parameter and \(f^{\varepsilon}(x,t,u)=f(u)-\varepsilon g^{\varepsilon}(x,t,u)\) a bistable nonlinearity associated with a double-well potential whose well-depths can be slightly unbalanced.
