The Cahn–Hilliard equation is commonly used to study multi-component soft systems such as poly-mer blends at continuum scales. We first systematically explore various features of the equationsystem, which give rise...

AbstractWe rigorously prove the convergence of weak solutions to a model for lipid raft formation in cell membranes which was recently proposed in [H. Garcke, J. Kampmann, A. Rätz and M. Röger, A coupled surface-Cahn–Hilliard bulk-diffusion system modeling lipid raft formation in cell membranes, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 26 2016, 6, 1149–1189] to weak (varifold) solutions of the corresponding sharp-interface problem for a suitable subsequence. In the system a Cahn–Hilliard type equation on the boundary of a domain is coupled to a diffusion equation inside the domain. The proof builds on techniques developed in [X. Chen, Global asymptotic limit of solutions of the Cahn–Hilliard equation, J. Differential Geom. 44 1996, 2, 262–311] for the corresponding result for the Cahn–Hilliard equation.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the long time behavior of solution for the initial-boundary value problem of convective Cahn–Hilliard equation in a 2D case. We show that the equation has a global attractor in $H^{4}(\Omega )$ H 4 ( Ω ) when the initial value belongs to $H^{1}(\Omega )$ H 1 ( Ω ) .
