Abstract

Some models of Cahn-Hilliard-Gurtin equations with a logarithmic free energy were analyzed. The constitutive equations proposed by Gurtin was a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard equation, which described important qualitative features of a two-phase systems, namely the transport of atoms between unit cells. It was found that most mathematical literature on the Cahn-Hilliard equation concentrated on a polynomial nonlinearity or on more general assumptions on the potential f excluding a logarithmic nonlinearity. The results show the relation between Cahn-Hilliard equation with logarithmic potentials.
