A Relation of the Allen–Cahn equations and the Euler equations and applications of the equipartition

Abstract

Abstract We will prove that solutions of the Allen–Cahn equations that satisfy the equipartition of the energy can be transformed into solutions of the Euler equations with constant pressure. As a consequence, we obtain De Giorgi type results, that is, the level sets of entire solutions are hyperplanes. Also, we will determine the structure of solutions of the Allen–Cahn system in two dimensions that satisfy the equipartition. In addition, we apply the Leray projection on the Allen–Cahn system and provide some explicit entire solutions. Finally, we obtain some examples of smooth entire solutions of the Euler equations. For specific type of initial conditions, some of these solutions can be extended to the Navier–Stokes equations. The motivation of this paper is to find a transformation that relates the solutions of the Allen–Cahn equations to solutions of the minimal surface equation of one dimension less. We prove this result for equipartitioned solutions in dimension three.
