Cahn–Hilliard system with proliferation term

Abstract

In this article, our objective is to explore a Cahn–Hilliard system with a proliferation term, particularly relevant in biological contexts, with Neumann boundary conditions. We commence our investigation by establishing the boundedness of the average values of the local cell density u and the temperature H. This observation suggests that the solution (u,H) either persists globally in time or experiences finite-time blow-up. Subsequently, we prove the convergence of u to 1 and H to 0 as time approaches infinity. Finally, we bolster our theoretical findings with numerical simulations.
