Solution

For a planar equilibrium, multiply

μ = 0

by

ϕ^{'}

and use the chain rule. The result is

\frac{d}{d x} [f (ϕ) - \frac{κ ( ϕ )}{2} (ϕ^{'})^{2}] = 0.

Matching to either bulk phase fixes the constant:

f (ϕ) - \frac{κ ( ϕ )}{2} (ϕ^{'})^{2} = f (ϕ_{B}) .

Consequently

\frac{d x}{d ϕ} = \pm \frac{κ ( ϕ )}{2 [ f ( ϕ ) - f ( ϕ _{B} )]},

and the inverse profile is

x (ϕ) - x_{0} = \pm \int_{0}^{ϕ} \frac{κ ( ψ )}{2 [ f ( ψ ) - f ( ϕ _{B} )]} d ψ .
