Transition layer for the heterogeneous Allen-Cahn equation

Abstract: We consider the equation

e^{2} D e l t a u = (u - a (x)) (u^{2} - 1)

in

O m e g a

,

f r a c p a r t i a l u p a r t i a l u = 0

on

p a r t i a l O m e g a

, where

O m e g a

is a smooth and bounded domain in

R^{n}

,

u

the outer unit normal to

p a O m e g a

, and

a

a smooth function satisfying

- 1 < a (x) < 1

in

o v O m e g a

. We set

K

,

O m e g a_{+}

and

O m e g a_{-}

to be respectively the zero-level set of

a

, {a>0} and {a<0}. Assuming

a b l a a e q 0

on

K

and

a e 0

on

p a r t i a l O m e g a

, we show that there exists a sequence

e_{j} o 0

such that the above equation has a solution

u_{e_{j}}

which converges uniformly to

p m 1

on the compact sets of

O_{p m}

as

j o + i n f t y

.
