Spatial decay for several phase-field models

Abstract

In this paper, we study the spatial behavior of three phase-field models. First, we consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation and we obtain the exponential decay of solutions under suitable assumptions on the data. Then, for the classical isothermal phase-field equation (i.e., the Allen-Cahn equation), we prove the nonexistence and the fast decay of solutions and, for the nonisothermal case governed by the Fourier law, we obtain a Phragm en-Lindel of alternative of exponential type, respectively.
