This article we study the Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation with degenerate mobility. Under suitable assumptions on the degenerate mobility and the double well potential, we prove existence of weak solutions, which can be obtained by considering the limits of Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equations with non-degenerate mobility. 1. Introduction In this article, we consider a scalar Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation with degenerate mobility u t = [Du) u fu))] + u fu)), in, 1.1) where =, T ), is a bounded domain in R n with a C 3 -boundary and fu) is the derivative of a double-well potential F u) with wells ±1. The mobility Du) CR; [, )) is in the form Du) = u m, if u < δ, C Du) C 1 u m, if u δ, 1.2) for some constants C, C 1, δ >, where < m < if n = 1, 2 and 4 n < m < 4 if n 3. Equation 1.1) is supplemented by the boundary conditions and the initial condition u = u =, t >, 1.3) ux, ) = u x). 1.4) Equation 1.1) was introduced as a simplification of multiple microscopic mechanisms model [8] in cluster interface evolution. Equation 1.1) with constant mobility has been intensively studied. Karali and Nagase [9] investigated existence of weak solution to 1.1) with Du) D and a quartic bistable potential F u) = 1 u 2 ) 2. Karali and Nagase [9] only provided existence of the solution for the deterministic case. Then Antonopoulou, Karali and Millet [2] studied the stochastic case.

2 2 X. ZHANG, C. LIU EJDE-216/329 main result of this paper is the existence of a global solution, under a specific sublinear growth condition for the diffusion coefficient. Path regularity in time and in space is also studied. In addition, Karali and Ricciardi [7] constructed special sequences of solutions to a fourth order nonlinear parabolic equation of the Cahn- Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation, converging to the second order Allen-Cahn equation. They studied the equivalence of the fourth order equation with a system of two second order elliptic equations. Karali and Katsoulakis [8] focus on a mean field partial differential equation, which contains qualitatively microscopic information on particle-particle interactions and multiple particle dynamics, and rigorously derive the macroscopic cluster evolution laws and transport structure. They show that the motion by mean curvature is given by V = µσκ, where κ is the mean curvature, σ is the surface tension and µ is an effective mobility that depends on the presence of the multiple mechanisms and speeds up the cluster evolution. This is in contrast with the Allen-Cahn equation where the velocity equals the mean curvature. Tang, Liu and Zhao [18] proved the existence of global attractor. Liu and Tang [15] obtained the existence of periodic solution for a Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation in two space dimensions. During the past few years, many authors have paid much attention to the Cahn- Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility. An existence result for the Cahn- Hilliard equation with a degenerate mobility in a one-dimensional situation has been established by Yin [19]. Elliott and Garcke [5] considered the Cahn-Hilliard equation with non-constant mobility for arbitrary space dimensions. Based on Galerkin approximation, they proved the global existence of weak solutions. Dai and Du [4] improved the results of the paper [5]. Liu [12] proved the existence of weak solutions for the convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility. The relevant equations or inequalities have also been studied in [1, 11, 13, 14]. Motivated by the above works, we prove the existence of weak solution to 1.1)- 1.4) under a more general range of the double-well potential F. In particular, we assume that for s R, F C 2 R) satisfies k s r+1 1) F s) k 1 s r+1 + 1), 1.5) F s) k 2 s r + 1), 1.6) F s) k 3 s r 1 + 1), 1.7) for some constants k, k 1, k 2, k 3 > where 1 r < if n = 1, 2 and 1 r if n 3. What s more, we need the assumption on the boundary of fu), n fu) =, t >. 1.8) We can give examples satisfying the condition 1.8), such as F u) = 1 u 2 ) 2 studied by Karali and Nagase [9], the logarithmic function fu) = θ c u + θ 1+u 2 ln 1 u, u 1, 1), < θ < θ c [3]. Concerning the Allen-Cahn structure, we rewrite 1.1), 1.3), 1.4) and 1.8) to the form u t = Du) v) v, in, v = u + fu), in, ux, ) = u x), in, u = v =, on. 1.9)

Notation. Define the usual Lebesgue norms and the L 2 -inner-product u p = u Lp ) and u, v) = u, v) L2 ). The duality pairing between the space H 2 ) and its dual H 2 )) will be denoted using the form,. For simplicity, 2 := 2n. χ B denotes the characteristic function of B. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we use a Galerkin method to give a existence of weak solution for a positive mobility. Section 3 uses a sequence of non-degenerate solutions to approximate the degenerate case 1.9). 2. Existence for positive mobility In this section, we study the Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation with a nondegenerate mobility D ε u) defined for an ε satisfying < ε < δ by { u m, if u > ε, D ε u) := ε m 2.1), if u ε. So we consider the problem u t = D ε u) v) v, in, v = u + fu), in, ux, ) = u x), in, u = v =, on. 2.2) Theorem 2.1. Suppose u H 1 ), under assumptions 1.2) and 1.5) 1.7), for any T >, there exists a pair of functions u ε, v ε ) such that 1) u ε L, T ; H 1 )) C[, T ]; L p )) L 2, T ; H 3 )), where 1 p < if n = 1, 2 and 2 p < 2n if n 3, 2) t u ε L 2, T ; H 2 )) ), 3) u ε x, ) = u x) for all x, 4) v ε L 2, T ; H 1 )), which satisfies equation 2.2) in the following weak sense T t u ε, φ dt + uε + fu ε ) ) φ dx dt Q T = D ε u ε ) 2.3) u ε + F ) u ε ) u ε φ dx dt for all test functions φ L 2, T ; H 2 ) H 1 )).

Let {φ J } j N be the eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on L 2 ) with Dirichlet boundary condition, i.e., φ J = λ J φ J, in, 2.5) φ J =, on. The eigenfunctions {φ J } j=1 form an orthogonal basis for L2 ), H 1 ) and H 2 ). Hence, for initial data u H 1 ), we can find sequences of scalars u N,j ; j = 1, 2,..., N) N=1 such that N lim u N,jφ J = u, in H 1 ). 2.6) N j=1 Let V N denote the linear span of φ 1,..., φ N ) and P N be the orthogonal projection from L 2 ) to V N, that is N ) P N φ := φφ J dx φ J. j=1 Let u N x, t) = N j=1 cn J t)φ Jx), v N x, t) = N j=1 dn J t)φ Jx) be the approximate solution of 2.2) in V N ; that is, u N, v N satisfy the g system of equations t u N φ J dx = D ε u N ) v N φ J dx v N φ J dx, 2.7) v N φ J dx = u N φ J + fu N )φ J dx, 2.8) u N x, ) = N u N,jφ J x), 2.9) j=1 for j = 1,..., N and u N,j = u φ J dx. This gives an initial value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations for c 1,..., c N ) N t c N J t) = d N N k t) D ε c N i t)φ i x) ) φ k φ J dx d N J t), 2.1) k=1 i=1 d N J t) = λ J c N J t) + f N c N i t)φ i x) ) φ J dx, 2.11) i=1 c N J ) = u N,j = u, φ J ), 2.12) which has to hold for j = 1,..., N.

Then problem 2.1)-2.12) is equivalent to the problem X t) = Ft, Xt)), X) = u N,1,..., u N,N). Since the right hand side of the above equation is continuous, it follows from the Cauchy-Peano Theorem [16] that the problem 2.1)-2.12) has a solution Xt) C 1 [, T N ], for some T N >, i. e., the system 2.7)-2.9) has a local solution. To prove the existence of solutions, we need some a priori estimates on u N. Lemma 2.2.

This estimate implies that the coefficients {c N J : j = 1,..., N} are bounded in time and therefore a global solution to the system 2.7)-2.9) exists. In addition, for any T >, we have u N L, T ; H 1 )), u N L,T ;H 1 )) C, for all N. 2.16) Inequality 2.15) implies D ε u N ) v N L 2 ) C, for all N, 2.17) v N L2 ) C, for all N. 2.18) By the Sobolev embedding theorem, the growth condition 1.2) and 2.1), for u > ε, we obtain D ε u N ) n/2 dx C 1 + 1) u N m n 2 dx, C u N mn/2 H 1 ) C. If u ε, obviously we obtain the above estimate. This implies D ε u N ) L,T ;L n/2 )) C, for all N. 2.19) For any φ L 2, T ; H 2 )), we obtain P N φ = N j=1 a Jt)φ J, where a J t) = φφ Jdx. Multiplying 2.7) by a J t), summing over j = 1, 2,..., N, by Hölder s inequality, 2.17)-2.19) and the Sobolev embedding theorem, we have T t u N φ dx dt T = = T T T t u N P N φ dx dt Dε u N ) v N P N φ + v N P N φ ) dx dt D ε u N ) n D ε u N ) v N 2 P N φ 2 dt + T C D ε u N ) v N 2 φ H 2 + v N 2 φ H 2 dt C D ε u N ) v N L 2 ) + v N L 2 )) φ L 2,T ;H 2 )) C φ L 2,T ;H 2 )). v N 2 P N φ 2 dt Hence, t u N L 2,T ;H 2 )) ) C for all N. 2.2) The proof is complete.

The proof is complete. 3. Degenerate mobility This section is devoted to the existence of weak solutions to the equations 1.9). Here we consider the limit of approximate solutions u εi defined in section 2. The limiting value u does exist and solves the degenerate Allen-Cahn/Cahn-Hilliard equation in the weak sense. Theorem 3.1. Suppose u H 1 ), under assumptions 1.2) and 1.5)-1.7), for any T >, problem 1.9) has a weak solution u : R satisfying 1) u L, T ; H 1 )) C[, T ]; L p )) L 2, T ; H 2 )), where 1 p < if n = 1, 2 and 2 p < 2n if n 3, 2) t u L 2, T ; H 2 )) ), 3) ux, ) = u x) for all x, which satisfies 1.9) in the following weak sense:
15 EJDE-216/329 CAHN-HILLIARD/ALLEN-CAHN EQUATION 15 1) Define P as the set where Du) is non-degenerate, that is P := {x, t) : u }. There exists a set A with \ A = and a function ζ : R n satisfying χ A P Du)ζ L 2, T ; L 2n n+2 )), such that T = t u, φ dt T A P T Du)ζ φ dx dt u + fu))φ dx dt 3.1) for all test functions φ L 2, T ; H 2 ) H 1 )). 2) For each j N, there exists E J := {x, t) ; u i u uniformly, u > δ J for δ J > } = T J S J such that u L 2 T J ; H 3 S J )), ζ = u + F u) u, in E J. In addition, u satisfies the energy inequality Eu) + Dux, τ)) ζx, τ) 2 dx dτ Q t A P + u + fu) 2 dx dτ Eu ), Q t for all t >. 3.2) Proof. We consider a sequence of positive numbers ε i monotonically decreasing to as i. Fix u H 1 ), for any fixed ε i, here, for the sake of simplicity, we write u i := u εi and D i u i ) := D εi u εi ). By Theorem 2.1, there exists a function u i such that 1) u i L, T ; H 1 )) C[, T ]; L p )) L 2, T ; H 3 )), where 1 p < if n = 1, 2 and 2 p < 2n if n 3, 2) t u i L 2, T ; H 2 )) ), T T T t u i, φ dt = D i u i ) v i φ dx dt v i φ dx dt 3.3) for all test functions φ L 2, T ; H 2 ) H 1 )), where v i = u i + fu i ), almost everywhere in. 3.4) By the arguments in the proof of Theorem 2.1, the bounds on the right hand side of 2.16), 2.2), 2.39) and 2.32) depend only on the growth conditions of the mobility and potential, so there exists a constant C > independent of ε i such that u i L,T ;H 1 )) C, 3.5) t u i L2,T ;H 2 )) ) C, 3.6) D i u i ) v i L2 ) C, 3.7) v i L2 ) C. 3.8)
16 16 X. ZHANG, C. LIU EJDE-216/329 Similar to the proof of Theorem 2.1, the above boundedness of {u i } and { t u i } enable us to find a subsequence, not relabeled, and u L, T ; H 1 )) such that as i, u i u, weak-* in L, T ; H 1 )), 3.9) u i u, strongly in C, T ; L p )), 3.1) u i u, strongly inl 2, T ; L p )) and almost all in, 3.11) t u i t u, weakly in L 2, T ; H 2 )) ), 3.12) where 1 p < if n = 1, 2 and 2 p < 2n if n 3. By 3.7) and 3.8), there exists ξ, η L 2 ) such that Di u i ) v i ξ, weakly in L 2 ), 3.13) v i η, weakly in L 2 ). 3.14) Next we show the convergence of D i u i ) v i and η = u + fu) a.e.. Similar to having 2.33) and 2.34), by the uniform convergence of D i D, we obtain D i u i ) Du), strongly in C, T ; L n/2 )), 3.15) Di u i ) Du), strongly in C, T ; L n )). 3.16) For any ϕ L 2, T ; L 2 )), by Hölder s inequality, we have D i u i ) v i ϕ ) Du)ξϕ dx dt [ D i u i ) Du)] D i u i ) v i ϕ dx dt + Du)[ Di u i ) v i ϕ ξϕ] dx dt T D i u i ) Du) n D i u i ) v i 2 ϕ 2 dt + Du)ϕ[ Di u i ) v i ξ] dx dt sup t [,T ] D i u i ) Du) n D i u i ) v i L 2 ) ϕ L2,T ;L 2 )) + Du)ϕ[ Di u i ) v i ξ] dx dt =: I + II.

17 EJDE-216/329 CAHN-HILLIARD/ALLEN-CAHN EQUATION 17 This implies Du)ϕ L 2 ). 3.17) By 3.13), thus II as N, this implies D i u i ) v i Du)ξ weakly in L 2, T ; L 2n n+2 )). 3.18) By 3.4), for any φ L 2, T ; H 1 )) L 2 ) we have v i φ dx dt = u i φ dx dt + fu i )φ dx dt Q T = u i φ dx dt + fu i )φ dx dt. 3.19) Recalling that the convergence of u i and fu i ) are similar to get 2.47) and 2.5), we have u i u, weak-* in L, T ; L 2 )), 3.2) fu i ) fu), weak-* in L, T ; L 2 )). 3.21) By 3.2), 3.21) and L 2, T ; H 1 )) L 1, T ; L 2 )), taking the limits of 3.19) on both sides, we have ηφ dx dt = u φ dx dt + fu)φ dx dt. Since fu) L, T ; L 2 )) and η L 2 ), by regularity theory we see that u L 2, T ; H 2 )) and η = u + fu), almost everywhere in. 3.22) By 3.12), 3.18) and 3.22), taking the limits of 3.3), we have T T T t u, φ dt = Du)ξ φ dx dt [ u + fu)]φ dx dt. 3.23) As for the initial value, since u i x, ) = u x) in L 2 ), by 3.1) we have ux, ) = u x). Now we consider the weak convergence of v i. Choose a sequence of positive numbers δ J that monotonically decreases to as j. By 3.11) and Egorov s theorem, for every δ J >, there exists a subset B J with \B J < δ J such that u i u, uniformly in B J. Define A 1 = B 1, A 2 = B 1 B 2,..., A J = B 1 B 2 B J. Then A 1 A 2 A J A j ) Thus the limit of {A J } exists, then we have lim j A J = j=1 A J := A and \A =. Define P J := {x, t) ; u > δ J }. Then P 1 P 2 P J P j ) Thus the limit of {P J } exists, then we have lim j P J = j=1 P J := P. For each j, we define E J := A J P J, G J := A J \P J, where u > δ J and u i u uniformly, where u δ j and u i u uniformly.
18 18 X. ZHANG, C. LIU EJDE-216/329 Thus we obtain A J = E J G J. By 3.24) and 3.25), we have E 1 E 2 E J E j+1. Thus the limit of {E J } exists, then we have lim j E J = j=1 E J = A P := E. For any ψ L 2, T ; L 2 )), D i u i ) v i ψ dx dt Q T = D i u i ) v i ψ dx dt + D i u i ) v i ψ dx dt 3.26) \A J G J + D i u i ) v i ψ dx dt. E J As i, by 3.18) we obtain lim D i u i ) v i ψ dx dt = Du)ξψ dx dt, 3.27) i Q T lim D i u i ) v i ψ dx dt = Du)ξψ dx dt. 3.28) i \A J \A J By \A =, taking the limit of 3.28) as j, we have lim lim D i u i ) v i ψ dx dt =. 3.29) j i \A J To analyze the second and third terms of 3.26), we write u j 1,i := u i and v j 1,i := v i in A J, then we have u j 1,i u, uniformly in A J for all j N. This implies that there exists an index N J N + such that for all i N J, u j 1,i u < δ J 2. We can easily get the following result: u j 1,i δ J 2, if x, t) E J, u j 1,i 2δ J, if x, t) G J. 3.3) Considering the limit of the second term of 3.26), by Hölder s inequality and 3.7) we have D j 1,i u j 1,i ) v j 1,i ψ dx dt G J D j 1,i u j 1,i ) D j 1,i u j 1,i ) v j 1,i ψ dx dt sup x,t) G J sup x,t) G J C sup x,t) G J D j 1,i u j 1,i ) D j 1,i u j 1,i ) v j 1,i L2 ) ψ L2 ) D j 1,i u j 1,i ) 1/n ψ L2,T ;L 2 )) C max{2δ J ) m/2, ε m/2 j 1,i }. 3.31)
19 EJDE-216/329 CAHN-HILLIARD/ALLEN-CAHN EQUATION 19 Taking the limits of 3.31) as i and j, we have lim lim D j 1,i u j 1,i ) v j 1,i ψ dx dt j i G J 3.32) C lim lim max{2δ J) m/2, ε m/2 j 1,i } =. j i By 3.7) and 3.3), we obtain δ J 2 )m v j 1,i 2 dx dt D j 1,i u j 1,i ) v j 1,i 2 dx dt D J D J D j 1,i u j 1,i ) v j 1,i 2 dx dt C. This implies v j 1,i 2 dx dt Cδ J ) m. D J So v j 1,i is bounded in L 2 E J ), thus there exists a subsequence, labeled as { v j,i }, and ζ J L 2 E J ) such that v j,i ζ J, weakly in L 2 E J ). 3.33) By E j 1 E J, for any g L 2 E J ), we have g L 2 E j 1 ) and v j 1,i = v j,i in E j 1. By 3.33) we have lim v j,i g dx dt = lim v j 1,i g dx dt i E i j 1 E j 1 = ζ J g dx dt = ζ j 1 g dx dt. E j 1 E j 1 Thus ζ J = ζ j 1 almost everywhere in E j 1. we define { ζ J, if x, t) E J, ω J :=, if x, t) E\E J. So for almost every x, t) E, there exists a limit of ω J x, t) as j. We write ζx, t) = lim j ω Jx, t), almost everywhere in E. Clearly ζx, t) = ζ J x, t) for almost all x, t) E J for all j. Using a standard diagonal argument, we can extract a subsequence such that v k,nk ζ, weakly in L 2 E J ) for all j. 3.34) For any ϕ L 2, T ; L 2 )), by Hölder s inequality we have ) χ EJ D k,nk u k,nk ) v k,nk ϕ χ EJ Du)ζϕ dx dt χ EJ [ D k,nk u k,nk ) Du)] v k,nk ϕ dx dt + χ EJ Du)[ vk,nk ϕ ζϕ] dx dt sup D k,nk u k,nk ) T Du) n χ EJ v k,nk 2 ϕ 2n dt t [,T ]

Thus by Taking the limits of third term of 3.26), we have lim lim D k,nk u k,nk ) v k,nk ψ dx dt j k E J = lim Du)ζψ dx dt = Du)ζψ dx dt. j E J E By 3.27), 3.29), 3.32) and 3.36), we have Du)ξψ dx dt = E 3.36) Du)ζψ dx dt. 3.37) By 3.23) and 3.37), we find that u and ζ solve equation 1.9) in the following weak sense T T t u, φ dt = Du)ζ φ dx dt [ u + fu)]φ dx dt, 3.38) E for all φ L 2, T ; H 2 ) H 1 )). From 3.14) and 3.34), we notice that v i is bounded in L 2 T J ; H 1 S J )), where E J = T J S J. So we can extract a further sequence, not relabeled, and v L 2 T J ; H 1 S J )), v i v weakly in L 2 T J ; H 1 S J )). 3.39) Similar to show F u ε ) L 2, T ; H 1 )) and 3.22).

So we obtain the desired relation between ζ and u: ζ = u + F u) u, in E J.
21 EJDE-216/329 CAHN-HILLIARD/ALLEN-CAHN EQUATION 21 Finally, we show that a weak solution u to 1.9) satisfies energy inequality 3.2).
