Existence, uniqueness, and energy scaling of 2+1 dimensional continuum model for stepped epitaxial surfaces with elastic effects

Ganghua Fan, Tao Luo, Yang Xiang

We study the 2+1 dimensional continuum model for the evolution of stepped epitaxial surface under long-range elastic interaction proposed by Xu and Xiang (SIAM J. Appl. Math. 69, 1…
