23 Nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard Corresponding evolution problem (2 nd order PDE): u t + J NL = 0, J NL = µ(u) v NL, v NL = δe NL(u) δu = (K 1)u K u + F (u) Goal: prove the convergence of solutions of the nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation to solutions of the local version in a periodic setting.

24 Local vs nonlocal They share fundamental features: underlying gradient flow structure, lack of comparison principle, separation from the pure phases,... Both energy functionals allow the same Γ-limit for vanishing interface thickness [Gal, Grasselli, Miranville, Rocca,... ] Pointwise convergence is of little use due to non convexity and lack of coercivity of the nonlocal energy functional E NL in H 1. There exists Γ-convergence for the energy functionals [Ponce 2004] but it is not trivial to prove convergence for solutions of the corresponding dynamic problems using [Sandier, Serfaty 2011] S.
