Review text

The paper is devoted to some dynamic aspects of the phase-fields equations where the nonlinearity is allowed to be of quite general form, but sufficiently regular. Boundary conditions are either Dirichlet, Neumann or periodic. This system can be transformed into an evolution equation by a change of variables. In their main result the authors show that the linear stability (in the natual space \(\{(\xi, v) \in H^1_{\text{B}}\times L^2_{\text{B}}, \int_{\Omega} v=0 \}, \) where B stands for the corresponding boundary conditions) of the equilibria \( (\phi _0, v_0)\) of the transformed problem depends on the sign of the first eigenvalue of a second-order operator (the elliptic part of the linearization around an equilibrium point of the transformed system) with coefficients depending on \(\phi _0\), and on scalar parameters in the transformed problem, in a space with the corresponding boundary conditions. Next the authors analyze the set of constant stationary solutions. Then they find lower bounds for the number of non-constant stationary solutions in the case \(n=1\) with Neumann boundary conditions. For certain cases they establish the precise number of such solutions. Finally, using the structure of the energy dissipated by the transformed problem, and results of \textit{C. P. Grant} [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 26, 21-34 (1995; Zbl 0813.35042)] they show the existence of metastable patterns for this model.
