Existence and limit problem for fractional fourth order subdiffusion equation and Cahn-Hilliard equation

The existence of global attractor for a Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn‎ ‎equation

In this paper, we consider a Cahn-Hillard/Allen-Cahn equation. By using the semigroup and the classical existence theorem of global attractors, we give the existence of the global attractor in H^k(0

The Cahn-hilliard Equation

1. Steady states. There are many two component systems in which phase separation can be induced by rapidly cooling the system. Thus, if a two component system, which is spatially uniform at temperature T1, is rapidly cooled to a second sufficiently lower temperature T2, then the cooled system will separate into regions of higher and lower concentration. A phenomenological description of the beh...

The Cahn–Hilliard Equation

Analysis and Approximation of a Fractional Cahn-Hilliard Equation

We derive a Fractional Cahn-Hilliard Equation (FCHE) by considering a gradient flow in the negative order Sobolev space H−α, α ∈ [0, 1] where the choice α = 1 corresponds to the classical Cahn-Hilliard equation whilst the choice α = 0 recovers the Allen-Cahn equation. The existence of a unique solution is established and it is shown that the equation preserves mass for all positive values of fr...

A compact fourth-order finite difference scheme for the three-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation

This work extends the previous two-dimensional compact scheme for the Cahn–Hilliard equation (Lee et al., 2014) to three-dimensional space. The proposed scheme, derived by combining a compact formula and a linearly stabilized splitting scheme, has second-order accuracy in time and fourth-order accuracy in space. The discrete system is conservative and practically stable. We also implement the c...
