In this paper we consider stochastic thin-film equation with nonlinear drift terms, colored Gaussian Stratonovich noise, as well as nonlinear colored Wiener noise. By means of Trotter–Kato-type decomposition into deterministic and stochastic parts, we couple both of these dynamics via a discrete-in-time scheme, and establish its convergence to a non-negative weak martingale solution.
In this paper, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the real Monge–Ampère equation in bounded domains with infinite Dirichlet boundary condition. The Monge–Ampère operator is derived from geometry and has recently received much attention. Our result embraces the case where is positive and satisfies the Keller–Osserman type condition. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution by constructing suitable sub-solutions and super-solutions, and obtain a uniqueness result in star-shaped domains by using a scaling technique.
We study the minimizers of a degenerate case of the Ohta–Kawasaki energy, defined as the sum of the perimeter and a Coulombic nonlocal term. We start by investigating radially symmetric candidates which give us insights into the asymptotic behaviors of energy minimizers in the large mass limit. In order to numerically study the problems that are analytically challenging, we propose a phase-field reformulation which is shown to Gamma-converge to the original sharp interface model. Our phase-field simulations and asymptotic results suggest that the energy minimizers exhibit behaviors similar to the self-assembly of amphiphiles, including the formation of lipid bilayer membranes.
