Abstract
We consider the problem of coarsening in two dimensions for the real (scalar) Ginzburg–Landau equation. This equation has exactly two stable stationary solutions, the constant functions +1 and −1. We assume most of the initial condition is in the “−1” phase with islands of “+1” phase. We use invariant manifold techniques to prove that the boundary of a circular island moves according to Allen–Cahn curvature motion law. We give a criterion for non-interaction of two arbitrary interfaces and a criterion for merging of two nearby interfaces.
