Robust exponential attractors for the modified phase-field crystal equation

Original · EN

We consider the modified phase-field crystal (MPFC) equation that has recently been proposed by P. Stefanovic et al. This is a variant of the phase-field crystal (PFC) equation, introduced by K.-R. Elder et al., which is characterized by the presence of an inertial term βϕtt. Here ϕ is the phase function standing for the number density of atoms and β≥ 0 is a relaxation time. The associated dynamical system for the MPFC equation with respect to the parameter β is analyzed. More precisely, we establish the existence of a family of exponential attractors Mβ that are Hölder continuous with respect to β.
