MERCOLEDI' 29 FEBBRAIO 2012 17:00-18:00, Sala Seminari (Dip. Matematica) SEMINARI DI CALCOLO DELLE VARIAZIONI E ANALISI GEOMETRICA On the Convergence of the Cahn-Hilliard equation Matteo Novaga (Padua University) We consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation in one space dimension and we show the convergence to a Stefan problem, as the scaling parameter tends to zero. The proof is based on variational methods and exploits the gradient flow structure of the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Liviana Paoletti Segreteria Scientifica Dipartimento di Matematica "L.
