Abstract: The generalized Allen-Cahn equation, [ u_t=varepsilon^2(D(u)u_x)_x-frac{varepsilon^2}2D'(u)u_x^2-F'(u), ] with nonlinear diffusion, $D=D(u)$, and potential, $F=F(u)$, of the form [ D(u) = |1-u^2|^{m}, quad ext{or} quad D(u) = |1-u|^{m}, quad m >1, ] and [ F(u)=frac{1}{2n}|1-u^2|^{n}, qquad ngeq2, ] respectively, is studied. These choices correspond to a reaction function that can be derived from a double well potential, and to a generalized degenerate diffusivity coefficient depending on the density $u$ that vanishes at one or at the two wells, $u=pm1$. It is shown that interface layer solutions that are equal to $pm1$ except at a finite number of thin transitions of width $varepsilon$ persist for an either exponentially or algebraically long time, depending upon the interplay between the exponents $n$ and $m$. For that purpose, energy bounds for a renormalized effective energy potential of Ginzburg-Landau type are derived.
