The Mullins Sekerka model is a nonlocal evolution model for hypersurfaces, which arises as a singular limit for the Cahn Hilliard equation. We show that classical solutions exist globally and tend to spheres exponentially fast, provided that they are close to a sphere initially. Our analysis is based on center manifold theory and on maximal regularity. 1998 Academic Press

We prove an additional result on the linearized Cahn-HilliardCook equation to fill in a gap in the main argument in our paper which was published in SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 49 (2011), 2407–2429. The result is a pathwise error estimate, which is proved by an application of the factorization argument for stochastic convolutions.

Abstract We investigate a Cahn-Hilliard type equation with gradient dependent potential. After establishing the existence and uniqueness, we pay our attention mainly to the regularity of weak solutions by means of the energy estimates and the theory of Campanato Spaces.

We develop an alternative method to matched asymptotic expansions for the construction of approximate solutions of the Cahn-Hilliard equation suitable for the study of its sharp interface limit. The method is based on the Hilbert expansion used in kinetic theory. Besides its relative simplicity, it leads to calculable higher order corrections to the interface motion.

The Cahn-Hilliard equation is discretized by a Galerkin finite element method based on continuous piecewise linear functions in space and discontinuous piecewise constant functions in time. A posteriori error estimates are proved by using the methodology of dual weighted residuals.

Abstract We analyze a phase field model for tumor growth consisting of Cahn–Hilliard–Brinkman system, ruling the evolution mass, coupled with an advection-reaction-diffusion equation chemical species acting as nutrient. The main novelty paper concerns discussion existence weak solutions to system covering all meaningful cases nonlinear potentials; in particular, typical choices given by regular...

This paper gives theoretical results on spinodal decomposition for the CahnHillard equation. We prove a mechanism which explains why most solutions for the Cahn-Hilliard equation which start near a homogeneous equilibrium within the spinodal interval exhibit phase separation with a characteristic wavelength when exiting a ball of radius R. Namely, most solutions are driven into a region of phas...
