Local minimizers and planar interfaces in a phase-transition model with interfacial energy

Interfacial energy is often incorporated into variational solid-solid phase transition models via a perturbation of the elastic energy functional involving second gradients of the deformation. We study consequences of such higher-gradient terms for local minimizers and for interfaces. First it is sh...
