Finite-dimensional attractor for the viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation in an unbounded domain. (English) Zbl 1115.35025
Summary: We consider the viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation in an infinite domain. Due to the noncompactness of operators, we use weighted Sobolev spaces to prove that the semigroup generated by this equation has the global attractor which has finite Hausdorff dimension.
