Global solution and long-time behavior for a problem of phase segregation of the Allen-Cahn type

Analysis of PDEs 2009-03-02 v1

Abstract

In this paper we study a model for phase segregation consisting in a sistem of a partial and an ordinary differential equation. By a careful definition of maximal solution to the latter equation, this system reduces to an Allen-Cahn equation with a memory term. Global existence and uniqueness of a smooth solution are proven and a characterization of the omega-limit set is given.
