Abstract

We show existence and uniqueness of a solution for the non-local vector-valued Allen-Cahn variational inequality in a formulation involving Lagrange multipliers for local and non-local constraints. Furthermore, we propose and analyze a primal-dual active set method for local and non-local vector-valued Allen-Cahn variational inequalities. The local convergence behaviour of the primal-dual active set algorithm is studied by interpreting the approach as a semi-smooth Newton method and numerical simulations are presented demonstrating its efficiency.
