Global existence and asymptotics of solutions of the Cahn-Hilliard equation (Q996966): Difference between revisions

The objective of the paper is to study the Cauchy problem associated to a Cahn-Hilliard equation in an arbitrary dimension which contains a smooth nonlinear term. The authors establish the existence and uniqueness of the global solution provided the initial data is sufficiently small in the \(L^1\)-norm. Then they obtain temporal decay estimates for the solution. Finally, under a suitable growth condition on the nonlinearity, the asymptotics of the solution are described.
