Abstract

In this paper, the initial-boundary value problem for a class of fourth-order nonlinear parabolic equations modeling the epitaxial growth of thin films is studied. By means of the theory of potential wells, the global existence, asymptotic behavior and finite time blow-up of weak solutions are obtained.

Keywords:

Fourth-order nonlinear parabolic equations,
existence,
asymptotic behavior,
blow-up.
