A Note on the Solutions for a Higher-Order Convective Cahn–Hilliard-Type Equation

The higher-order convective Cahn-Hilliard equation describes the evolution of crystal surfaces faceting through surface electromigration, the growing surface faceting, and the evolution of dynamics of phase transitions in ternary oil-water-surfactant systems. In this paper, we study the <inline-f...

Description
Summary:The higher-order convective Cahn-Hilliard equation describes the evolution of crystal surfaces faceting through surface electromigration, the growing surface faceting, and the evolution of dynamics of phase transitions in ternary oil-water-surfactant systems. In this paper, we study the <inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>H</mi><mn>3</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula> solutions of the Cauchy problem and prove, under different assumptions on the constants appearing in the equation and on the mean of the initial datum, that they are well-posed.
