Long time behavior of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with irregular potentials and dynamic boundary conditions

Abstract

The Cahn-Hilliard equation with irregular potentials and dynamic boundary conditions is considered. The existence of the global attractor is proved and the long time behavior of the trajectories, namely, the convergence to steady states, is studied.

Keywords
