Mild solutions to fourth-order parabolic equations modeling thin film growth with time fractional derivative

Qiang Liu, Wanyu Zhu, Hailong Ye

Abstract:
In this article, we study initial-boundary problems for fourth-order nonlinear parabolic equations modeling thin film growth with Caputo-type time fractional derivative. By means of the theory of abstract fractional calculus and \(L^p-L^q\) estimates, we establish the existence and uniqueness of local mild solutions in the spaces \(C([0,T]; L^{\frac{\beta N}{2-\beta}}(\Omega))\) with \(1<\beta<2\). Moreover, the local solutions can be extended globally if the initial data is sufficiently small.
