As an application we then consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation on a manifold with (possibly warped) conical singularities. Relying on our work for the case of straight cones, we first establish $R$-sectoriality (and thus maximal regularity) for the linearized equation and then deduce the existence of a short time solution with the help of a theorem by Cl\\'ement and Li. We also obtain the short time asymptotics of the solution near the conical point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-05-20T13:45:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J70", "35K59", "58J40" ], "keywords": [ "higher order mellin-sobolev spaces", "bounded imaginary powers", "cone differential operators", "cahn-hilliard equation", "application" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1311.4702R" } } }
