Abstract

We investigate stationary solutions of the one-dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation with the diffusion coefficient and the total mass of the density as two given parameters. We solve the equation completely in the whole parameter space by using the Jacobi elliptic functions and complete elliptic integrals. In addition to counting the stationary solutions, which was studied by Grinfeld and Novick-Cohen, we provide an exact expression of the solutions. We also illustrate global bifurcation diagrams together with the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as the diffusion coefficient vanishes.
