Stabilization of solutions to a model of Langmuir-Blodgett films

Analysis of PDEs 2026-03-18 v1

Abstract

We show stabilisation of solutions to one-dimensional advective Cahn-Hilliard equation modeling the Langmuir-Blodgett thin films. This problem has the structure of a gradient flow perturbed by a linear term βux\beta u_x. Through application of an abstract result by Carvalho-Langa-Robinson, we show that for small β\beta the equation has the structure of gradient flow in a weak sense. Combining this with the finite number of steady states implies stabilization of solutions.
