-
A.
Cahn–Hilliard equation
The Cahn–Hilliard equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation that models phase separation and coarsening in binary mixtures and other systems undergoing spinodal decomposition.
-
B.
Mullins–Sekerka instability
The Mullins–Sekerka instability is a morphological instability that occurs during diffusion-limited solidification or crystal growth, leading to pattern formation such as dendrites at moving phase boundaries.
-
C.
Stefan problem
The Stefan problem is a classical mathematical model in heat transfer that describes how phase-change boundaries, such as the interface between ice and water, move over time.
-
D.
Monge–Ampère equation
The Monge–Ampère equation is a fully nonlinear partial differential equation central to differential geometry, optimal transport, and several complex variables, often used to study curvature and geometric structures.
-
E.
Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation
The Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation is a fundamental stochastic partial differential equation that models the dynamic scaling and roughening of growing interfaces in nonequilibrium statistical physics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
