Spectral Analysis of Planar Transition Fronts for the Cahn–Hilliard Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the spectrum of the linear operator that arises upon linearization of the Cahn–Hilliard equation in dimensions d ≥ 2 about a planar transition front (a solution that depends on only one distinguished space variable and that has different values at ±∞). In previous work the author has established conditions on this spectrum under which such planar transition fronts are asymptotically stable, and we verify here that those conditions hold for all such waves arising in a general form of the Cahn–Hilliard equation.

Asymptotic behavior near planar transition fronts for the Cahn–Hilliard equation
We consider the asymptotic behavior of perturbations of planar wave solutions arising in the Cahn– Hilliard equation in space dimensions d ≥ 2. Such equations are well known to arise in the study of spinodal decomposition, a phenomenon in which rapid cooling of a homogeneously mixed binary alloy causes separation to occur, resolving the mixture into regions in which one component or the other i...
متن کاملSpectral Analysis for Transition Front Solutions in Multidimensional Cahn-Hilliard Systems
We consider the spectrum associated with the linear operator obtained when a Cahn-Hilliard system on Rn is linearized about a planar transition front solution. In the case of single Cahn-Hilliard equations on Rn, it’s known that under general physical conditions the leading eigenvalue moves into the negative real half plane at a rate |ξ|3, where ξ is the Fourier transform variable corresponding...
متن کاملAsymptotic behavior near transition fronts for equations of generalized Cahn–Hilliard form
We consider the asymptotic behavior of perturbations of standing wave solutions arising in evolutionary PDE of generalized Cahn–Hilliard form in one space dimension. Such equations are well known to arise in the study of spinodal decomposition, a phenomenon in which the rapid cooling of a homogeneously mixed binary alloy causes separation to occur, resolving the mixture into its two components ...

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
متن کاملSpectral Analysis for Stationary Solutions of the Cahn–Hilliard Equation in R
We consider the spectrum associated with three types of bounded stationary solutions for the Cahn–Hilliard equation on Rd, d ≥ 2: radial solutions, saddle solutions (only for d = 2), and planar periodic solutions. In particular, we establish spectral instability for each type of solution. The important case of multiply periodic solutions does not fit into the framework of our approach, and we d...
