Truncated gradient flows of the van der Waals free energy
We employ the Pade approximation to derive a set of new partial differential equations, which can be put forward as possible models for phase transitions in solids. We start from a nonlocal free energy functional, we expand in Taylor series the interface part of this energy, and then consider gradie...
