Doubly nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard equations

Abstract

We consider a doubly nonlocal nonlinear parabolic equation which describes phase-segregation of a two-component material in a bounded domain. This model is a more general version than the recent nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard equation proposed by Giacomin and Lebowitz [26], such that it reduces to the latter under certain conditions. We establish well-posedness results along with regularity and long-time results in the case when the interaction between the two levels of nonlocality is strong-to-weak.
