 Tony Shardlow Electronic Journal of Differential Equations , 2000, Abstract: Consider the Allen-Cahn equation with small diffusion $epsilon^2$ perturbed by a space time white noise of intensity $sigma$. In the limit, $sigma / epsilon^2 ightarrow 0$, solutions converge to the noise free problem in the $L_2$ norm. Under these conditions, asymptotic results for the evolution of phase boundaries in the deterministic setting are extended, to describe the behaviour of the stochastic Allen-Cahn PDE by a system of stochastic differential equations. Computations are described, which support the asymptotic derivation.
 Mathematics , 2015, Abstract: We consider the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation perturbed by smooth additive Gaussian noise in a spatial domain with smooth boundary in dimension $d\le 3$, and study the semidiscretisation in time of the equation by an Euler type split step method. We show that the method converges strongly with a rate $O(\Delta t^{\gamma})$ for any $\gamma<\frac12$. By means of a perturbation argument, we also establish the strong convergence of the standard backward Euler scheme with the same rate.
 Mathematics , 2009, Abstract: We study an Allen-Cahn equation perturbed by a multiplicative stochastic noise which is white in time and correlated in space. Formally this equation approximates a stochastically forced mean curvature flow. We derive uniform energy bounds and prove tightness of of solutions in the sharp interface limit, and show convergence to phase-indicator functions.
 Hendrik Weber Mathematics , 2009, DOI: 10.1214/09-AIHP333 Abstract: A description of the short time behavior of solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation with a smoothened additive noise is presented. The key result is that in the sharp interface limit solutions move according to motion by mean curvature with an additional stochastic forcing. This extends a similar result of Funaki in spatial dimension $n=2$ to arbitrary dimensions.
 Mathematics , 2013, DOI: 10.1239/jap/1437658601 Abstract: We consider the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation perturbed by smooth additive Gaussian noise in a spatial domain with smooth boundary in dimension $d\le 3$, and study the semidiscretization in time of the equation by an implicit Euler method. We show that the method converges pathwise with a rate $O(\Delta t^{\gamma})$ for any $\gamma<\frac12$. We also prove that the scheme converges uniformly in the strong $L^p$-sense but with no rate given.
 Mathematics , 2012, Abstract: We consider the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation driven by mollified space-time white noise. We show that, as the mollifier is removed, the solutions converge weakly to 0, independently of the initial condition. If the intensity of the noise simultaneously converges to 0 at a sufficiently fast rate, then the solutions converge to those of the deterministic equation. At the critical rate, the limiting solution is still deterministic, but it exhibits an additional damping term.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: We study the invariant measure of the one-dimensional stochastic Allen-Cahn equation for a small noise strength and a large but finite system. We endow the system with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions that enforce at least one transition from -1 to 1. (Our methods can be applied to other boundary conditions as well.) We are interested in the competition between the energy that should be minimized due to the small noise strength and the entropy that is induced by the large system size. Our methods handle system sizes that are exponential with respect to the inverse noise strength, up to the critical exponential size predicted by the heuristics. We capture the competition between energy and entropy through upper and lower bounds on the probability of extra transitions between -1 and 1. These bounds are sharp on the exponential scale and imply in particular that the probability of having one and only one transition from -1 to +1 is exponentially close to one. In addition, we show that the position of the transition layer is uniformly distributed over the system on scales larger than the logarithm of the inverse noise strength. Our arguments rely on local large deviation bounds, the strong Markov property, the symmetry of the potential, and measure-preserving reflections.
 Mathematics , 2013, Abstract: The Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation with noise is a simplified mean field model of stochastic microscopic dynamics associated with adsorption and desorption-spin flip mechanisms in the context of surface processes. For such an equation we consider a multiplicative space-time white noise with diffusion coefficient of sub-linear growth. Using technics from semigroup theory, we prove existence, and path regularity of stochastic solution depending on that of the initial condition. Our results are also valid for the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation with unbounded noise diffusion, for which previous results were established only in the framework of a bounded diffusion coefficient. We prove that the path regularity of stochastic solution depends on that of the initial condition, and are identical to those proved for the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation and a bounded noise diffusion coefficient. If the initial condition vanishes, they are strictly less than 2-d/2 in space and 1/2-d/8 in time. As expected from the theory of parabolic operators in the sense of Petrovski, the bi-Laplacian operator seems to be dominant in the combined model.
 Mathematics , 2014, Abstract: We study the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation driven by a noise term with intensity $\sqrt{\varepsilon}$ and correlation length $\delta$ in two and three spatial dimensions. We study diagonal limits $\delta, \varepsilon \to 0$ and describe fully the large deviation behaviour depending on the relationship between $\delta$ and $\varepsilon$. The recently developed theory of regularity structures allows to fully analyse the behaviour of solutions for vanishing correlation length $\delta$ and fixed noise intensity $\varepsilon$. One key fact is that in order to get non-trivial limits as $\delta \to 0$, it is necessary to introduce diverging counterterms. The theory of regularity structures allows to rigorously analyse this renormalisation procedure for a number of interesting equations. Our main result is a large deviation principle for these renormalised solutions. One interesting feature of this result is that the diverging renormalisation constants disappear at the level of the large deviations rate function. We apply this result to derive a sharp condition on $\delta, \varepsilon$ that guarantees a large deviation principle for diagonal schemes $\varepsilon, \delta \to 0$ for the equation without renormalisation.
 Mathematics , 2011, DOI: 10.1016/j.jcp.2011.12.002 Abstract: White noise-driven nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) of parabolic type are frequently used to model physical and biological systems in space dimensions d = 1,2,3. Whereas existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to these equations are well established in one dimension, the situation is different for d \geq 2. Despite their popularity in the applied sciences, higher dimensional versions of these SPDE models are generally assumed to be ill-posed by the mathematics community. We study this discrepancy on the specific example of the two dimensional Allen-Cahn equation driven by additive white noise. Since it is unclear how to define the notion of a weak solution to this equation, we regularize the noise and introduce a family of approximations. Based on heuristic arguments and numerical experiments, we conjecture that these approximations exhibit divergent behavior in the continuum limit. The results strongly suggest that a series of published numerical studies are problematic: shrinking the mesh size in these simulations does not lead to the recovery of a physically meaningful limit.
