Abstract

We study the asymptotic limit, as ε0\varepsilon\searrow 0, of solutions of the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation: tuε=Δ(εΔuε+1εf(uε))+W˙tε, \partial_t u^\varepsilon=\Delta \left(-\varepsilon\Delta u^\varepsilon+\frac{1}{\varepsilon}f(u^\varepsilon)\right)+\dot{\mathcal{W}}^\varepsilon_t, \\ where Wε=εσW\mathcal{W}^\varepsilon=\varepsilon^\sigma W or Wε=εσWε\mathcal{W}^\varepsilon=\varepsilon^\sigma W^\varepsilon, WW is a QQ-Wiener process and WεW^\varepsilon is smooth in time and converges to WW as ε0\varepsilon\searrow 0. In the case that Wε=εσW\mathcal{W}^\varepsilon=\varepsilon^\sigma W, we prove that for all σ>12\sigma>\frac{1}{2}, the solution uεu^\varepsilon converges to a weak solution to an appropriately defined limit of the deterministic Cahn-Hilliard equation. In radial symmetric case we prove that for all σ12\sigma\geq\frac{1}{2}, uεu^\varepsilon converges to the deterministic Hele-Shaw model. In the case that Wε=εσWε\mathcal{W}^\varepsilon=\varepsilon^\sigma W^\varepsilon, we prove that for all σ>0\sigma>0, uεu^\varepsilon converges to the weak solution to the deterministic limit Cahn-Hilliard equation. In radial symmetric case we prove that uεu^\varepsilon converges to deterministic Hele-Shaw model when σ>0\sigma>0 and converges to a stochastic model related to stochastic Hele-Shaw model when σ=0\sigma=0.
