Description

In this talk, we consider a class of Cahn–Hilliard equations with nonlinear diffusion, arising in the description of complex materials.
We discuss recent results on existence, regularization, stability, and convergence to equilibrium under very general assumptions. In particular, we show that the strong convexity assumption on the interfacial energy, which underlies much of the existing theory, can be removed while still obtaining a comprehensive description of the dynamics.
