Abstract:

We study ``tunnelling'' in a one-dimensional, non local evolution equation, by assigning a penalty functional to orbits which deviate from solutions of the evolution equation. We discuss the variational problem of computing the minimal penalty for orbits which connect two stable, stationary solutions.

Keywords: Tunnelling, Nonlocal evolution equations
