Abstract

Abstract. We consider a class of Allen–Cahn equations associated with Ginzburg–Landau energies involving degenerate double-well potentials that vanish of order [Formula: see text] at the minima [Formula: see text] and establish density estimates for the level sets of nontrivial minimizers [Formula: see text]. This extends a result of Dipierro–Farina–Valdinoci where the density estimates for such degenerate potentials were obtained for a bounded range of [Formula: see text]’s. The original estimates for the classical case [Formula: see text] were established by Caffarelli–Córdoba.
