Mass-Conserving Saddle Dynamics and Solution Landscapes: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications to Triblock Copolymers under Soft Confinement
Speaker
A/Prof. Zhen Xu
Abstract

We integrate massconserving saddle dynamics with solution landscape construction to study triblock copolymer selfassembly under soft confinement. First, we develop an accelerated projection saddle dynamics (APSD) method for a multicomponent THC model, prove its linear stability, and construct solution landscapes, bifurcation diagrams, and heatmaps. A wealth of extreme points is classified into Layer, Flower, Circle, and CoreShell classes; their connections reveal novel structures and transition pathways. Second, we present a unified saddle dynamics framework under different inner products (projected $L^2$ and $H^{-1}$), prove the equivalence of indexkk saddle points to stable steady states, and show that the innerproduct choice may enriches the solution landscape, exposing previously unreported saddle points.
