Abstract

We consider one dimensional generalized parabolic Cahn-Hilliard equation ut=xx[xxuW(u)]+W(u)[xxuW(u)],(t,x)[0,+)×R, u_t=-\partial_{xx}\big[\partial_{xx}u-W'(u)\big]+W''(u)\big[\partial_{xx} u -W'(u)\big], \qquad \forall\, (t,x)\in [0,+\infty)\times {\mathbb R}, where the function W()W(\cdot) is the standard double-well potential. For any given positive integer k2k\geq2, we construct a solution u(t,x)u(t,x) with kk interfaces, which has the form u(t,x)j=1k(1)j+1ω(xγj(t))1+(1)k2as t+, u(t,x)\approx\sum_{j=1}^k(-1)^{j+1}\omega\big(x-\gamma_j(t)\big)-\frac{1+(-1)^k}{2}\qquad \text{as}\ t\rightarrow +\infty, where ω\omega is the solution to the Allen-Cahn equation ωW(ω)=0,ω>0\mboxinR,ω(0)=0,ω(±)=±1. \omega''-W'(\omega)=0,\quad\omega'>0\quad\mbox{in }{\mathbb R}, \quad \omega(0)=0, \quad \omega(\pm\infty)=\pm 1. The interfaces are described by the functions γj(t)\gamma_j(t) with j=1,,kj=1,\cdots,k, which are determined by a Toda system and have the forms γj(t)=122(jk+12)lnt+O(1). \gamma_j(t)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\left(j-\frac{k+1}{2}\right)\ln t +O(1). The Toda system is different from the one that determine the dynamics of the multiple interfaces of solutions to one dimensional parabolic Allen-Cahn equation established by M. del Pino and K. Gkikas in {\em Proc. R. Soc. Edinb. Sect. A}, 148 (2018), 6: 1165-1199.
