Gradient flows as a selection procedure for equilibria of nonconvex energies

For atomistic material models, global minimization gives the wrong qualitative behavior; a theory of equilibrium solutions needs to be defined in different terms. In this paper, a concept based on gradient flow evolutions, to describe local minimization for simple atomistic models based on the Lenna...
