Abstract

A parabolic-hyperbolic nonconserved phase-field model is here analyzed. This is an evolution system consisting of a parabolic equation for the relative temperature T which is nonlinearly coupled with a semilinear damped wave equation governing the order parameter p. The latter equation is characterized by a nonlinearity with cubic growth. Assuming homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions for T and p, we prove that any weak solution has an omega-limit set consisting of one point only. This is achieved by means of adapting a method based on the Lojasiewicz-Simon inequality. We also obtain an estimate of the decay rate to equilibrium.
