Gradient flow reaction/diffusion models in phase transitions

In this article we consider a nonlinear large reaction small diffusion problem which has two (or more) stable states, and we analyse it using two different methods. First method: an approach based on (asymptotic) expansions; and second method: an approach based on the notion of $\Gamma$-convergence...
