摘要
The Functionalized Cahn-Hilliard equation has been proposed as a model for the interfacial energy of phase-separated mixtures of amphiphilic molecules. We study the existence of a nonnegative weak solutions of a gradient flow of the Functionalized Cahn-Hilliard equation subject to a degenerate mobility M(u) that is zero for u <= 0. Assuming the initial data u(0)(x) is positive, we construct a weak solution as the limit of solutions corresponding to non-degenerate mobilities and verify that it satisfies an energy dissipation inequality. Our approach is a combination of Galerkin approximation, energy estimates, and weak convergence methods. (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
