On the Stability and Accuracy of the Spectral Difference Method
In this article, it is shown that under certain conditions, the spectral difference (SD) method is independent of the position of the solution points. This greatly simplifies the d...

Growth, Structure and Pattern Formation for Thin Films
Abstract An epitaxial thin film consists of layers of atoms whose lattice properties are determined by those of the underlying substrate. This paper reviews mathematical modeling, ...

Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of a Phase-field Approach to Critical Nuclei Morphology in Solids
Abstract We investigate a phase-field model for homogeneous nucleation and critical nucleus morphology in solids. We analyze the mathematical properties of a free energy functional...
