Upper-semicontinuity of the global attractors for a class of nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equations

Abstract

The aim of this work is to examine the upper-semicontinuity properties of the family of global attractors admitted by a non-isothermal viscous relaxation of some nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equations. We prove that the family of global attractors is upper-semicontinuous as the perturbation parameters vanish. Additionally, under suitable assumptions, we prove that the family of global attractors satisfies a further upper-semicontinuity type estimate whereby the difference between trajectories of the relaxation problem and the limit isothermal non-viscous problem is explicitly controlled, in the topology of the relaxation problem, in terms of the relaxation parameters.
