Our aim in this paper is to define proper dynamic boundary conditions for a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard system proposed by M. Gurtin. Such boundary conditions take into account the interactions with the walls in confined systems. We then study the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions.
Keywords: Cahn-Hilliard-Gurtin equations, dynamic boundary conditions, well-posedness..
Mathematics Subject Classification: 35K5.
