Streszczenie
In this paper we study the Cahn-Hilliard-Gurtin system describing the phase-separation process in elastic solids. The system has been derived by Gurtin (1996) as an extension of the classical Cahn-Hilliard equation. For a version with viscosity we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution on an infinite time interval and derive an absorbing set estimate.
