Metastable Patterns for Multi-phase Field Models: Multi-phase field models

The main objective of this work is to show the slow decay from metastable states of different phase-field models which stand for the dynamic phase transition between many different states (thus allowing the study mixtures of two or more components). By this way, we get a generalization of the existence of this kind of metastable solutions, given by other previous works, even when we consider the nonlinear diffusion.
