Long-Time behavior for crystal dislocation dynamics / S. Patrizi, E. Valdinoci. - In: MATHEMATICAL MODELS AND METHODS IN APPLIED SCIENCES. - ISSN 0218-2025. - 27:12(2017 Nov), pp. 2185-2228. [10.1142/S0218202517500427]
Abstract:
We describe the asymptotic states for the solutions of a nonlocal equation of evolutionary type, which have the physical meaning of the atom dislocation function in a periodic crystal. More precisely, we can describe accurately the "smoothing effect" on the dislocation function occurring slightly after a "particle collision" (roughly speaking, two opposite transitions layers average out) and, in this way, we can trap the atom dislocation function between a superposition of transition layers which, as time flows, approaches either a constant function or a single heteroclinic (depending on the algebraic properties of the orientations of the initial transition layers). The results are endowed with explicit and quantitative estimates and, as a byproduct, we show that the ODE systems of particles that govern the evolution of the transition layers does not admit stationary solutions (i.e. roughly speaking, transition layers always move).
