Convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility. (English) Zbl 1184.35176

This papers studies the existence of weak solutions for the convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility. The main result is the existence of weak solutions.
For the proof, the authors establish the global existence of classical solutions for a regularized problem. Based on Schauder-type estimates uniform estimates are derived. These allow then to pass to the limit, and to establish the existence of weak solutions.
