Global and local minimizers of a doubly nonlocal variational problem Masomeh, Jamshid Nejad

Abstract

Consider the problem of minimizing the doubly nonlocal energywhich is a doublewell potential. This doubly nonlocal energy arises in the study of microphase separation phenomena for diblock copolymers with nonlocal diffusions and long range interactions. We identify the Γ-limit and also find explicit local minimizers.
