Abstract:

The nonlocal-to-local asymptotics investigation for evolutionary problems is a central topic both in the theory of PDEs and in functional analysis. More recently, it became the main core of the mathematical analysis of phase-separation models. In this paper we focus on the Swift-Hohenberg equations which are key benchmark models in pattern formation problems and amplitude equations. We prove well-posedness of the nonlocal Swift-Hohenberg equation, and study the nonlocal-to-local asymptotics with one and two nonlocal contributions under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions using suitable energy estimates on the nonlocal problems.

Keywords: well-posedness, nonlocal-to-local convergence, Swift-Hohenberg equation
