Global existence via a multivalued operator for an Allen-Cahn-Gurtin equation
Résumé
The main goal of this paper is to prove existence of global solutions in time for an Allen-Cahn-Gurtin model of pseudo-parabolic type. Local solutions were known to "blow up" in some sense in finite time. It is proved that the equation is actually governed by a monotone-like operator. It turns out to be multivalued and measure-valued. The measures are singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This operator allows to extend the local solutions globally in time and to fully solve the evolution problem. The asymptotic behavior is also analyzed.
