[Title] Calculus of Variations in Materials Sciences
[Discipline] Analysis
[Abstract]
This talk aims to explore the application of calculus of variations in materials sciences. We will discuss the physics behind solid-solid phase transitions and elastic energy. Then the Allen-Cahn model in studying interfaces and their energy will be introduced. Finally, we will examine the Ohta-Kawasaki model and its role in understanding self-assembly in block copolymers. Recent research advancements in the Ohta-Kawasaki problem will also be presented.
[Language] Korean but English if it is requested
