Convergence to equilibria for a three-dimensional conserved phase-field system with memory

Gianluca Mola

Abstract:
We consider a conserved phase-field system with thermal memory on a tridimensional bounded domain. Assuming that the nonlinearity is real analytic, we use a Lojasiewicz-Simon type inequality to study the convergence to steady states of single trajectories. We also give an estimate of the convergence rate.
