Global well-posedness and temporal decay estimates to the fractional Cahn-Hilliard equation in \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\) (Q2311867): Difference between revisions

The Cahn-Hilliard equation arises in the study of phase separation on cooling binary solutions such as glasses, alloys and polymer mixtures and it is a widely used phenomenological diffuse-interface model. Recently some papers were devoted to the study of the fractional Cahn-Hilliard equation, since a fractional version of the Cahn-Hilliard equation can take the long-range interactions among particles into account. In this paper, the authors study the global well-posedness of solutions for the Cauchy problem of the fractional Cahn-Hilliard equation in provided that the initial datum is sufficiently small. In addition, the authors study the \(L^p\)-norm \((1 \leq p \leq +\infty)\) temporal decay rate for weak solutions and the higher-order derivative of solutions.
