Global existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to Cahn-Hilliard-Gurtin system in elastic solids

Irena Pawłow, Wojciech M. Zajączkowski (2008)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we study the Cahn-Hilliard-Gurtin system describing the phase-separation process in elastic solids. The system has been derived by Gurtin (1996) as an extension of the classical Cahn-Hilliard equation. For a version with viscosity we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution on an infinite time interval and derive an absorbing set estimate.

Global existence versus blow up for some models of interacting particles

Piotr Biler, Lorenzo Brandolese (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the global existence and space-time asymptotics of solutions for a class of nonlocal parabolic semilinear equations. Our models include the Nernst-Planck and Debye-Hückel drift-diffusion systems as well as parabolic-elliptic systems of chemotaxis. In the case of a model of self-gravitating particles, we also give a result on the finite time blow up of solutions with localized and oscillating complex-valued initial data, using a method due to S. Montgomery-Smith.

Global stability of travelling fronts for a damped wave equation with bistable nonlinearity

Thierry Gallay, Romain Joly (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We consider the damped wave equation α u t t + u t = u x x - V ' ( u ) on the whole real line, where V is a bistable potential. This equation has travelling front solutions of the form u ( x , t ) = h ( x - s t ) which describe a moving interface between two different steady states of the system, one of which being the global minimum of V . We show that, if the initial data are sufficiently close to the profile of a front for large | x | , the solution of the damped wave equation converges uniformly on to a travelling front as t + . The proof of this global stability...

Global φ-attractor for a modified 3D Bénard system on channel-like domains

O.V. Kapustyan, A.V. Pankov (2014)

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

In this paper we prove the existence of a global φ-attractor in the weak topology of the natural phase space for the family of multi-valued processes generated by solutions of a nonautonomous modified 3D Bénard system in unbounded domains for which Poincaré inequality takes place.
