Maximal regularity and asymptotic behavior of solutions for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with dynamic boundary conditions. (English) Zbl 1232.35081
Summary: This paper deals with the Cahn-Hilliard equation $\psi_t = \Delta \mu, \quad \mu = - \Delta \psi - \psi + \psi^3,\quad (t,x)\in J\times\Omega$ subject to the boundary conditions $\frac{1}{\Gamma_s} \psi_t = \sigma_s \Delta_{||}\psi - \partial _{\nu} \psi - g_s \psi + h, \quad \partial _{\nu} \mu = 0$ and the initial condition $$\psi (0,x) = \psi _{0}(x)$$ where $$J = (0,\infty )$$, and $$\Omega \subset \mathbb R^{ n }$$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $$\Gamma = \partial G$$, $$n\leq 3$$, and $$\Gamma _{ s },\sigma _{ s },g _{ s } > 0$$, $$h$$ are constants. This problem has already been considered in the recent paper by the two last authors [Adv. Diff. Eq. 8, 83–110 (2003; Zbl 1035.35050)], where global existence and uniqueness were obtained. In this paper we first obtain results on the maximal $$L _{ p }$$-regularity of the solution. We then study the asymptotic behavior of the solution of this problem and prove the existence of a global attractor.
