Abstract: We consider a one dimensional periodic forward-backward parabolic equation, regularized by a non-linear fourth order term of order $epsilo{n}^{2}ll1$. This equation is known in the literature as Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility. Under the hypothesis of the initial data being well prepared, we prove that as $epsilono0$, the solution converges to the solution of a well-posed degenerate parabolic equation. The proof exploits the gradient flow nature of the equation in $mathcal{W}^2$ and utilizes the framework of convergence of gradient flows developed by Sandier-Serfaty. As an incidental, we study fine energetic properties of solutions to the Thin-film equation $partia{l}_{t}u=(u{u}_{xxx}{)}_x$.
