題目: Long-time behavior of nonlinear evolution equations: An introduction to the Lojasiewicz–Simon approach
In this talk we will introduce the Lojasiewicz–Simon approach, which is an efficient method to investigate the long-time behavior of nonlinear evolution equations with multiple steady states. We first explain the main idea by using a simple example, i.e., the Allen–Cahn equation. Then we discuss the possible extensions to evolution equations with different structure.

題目: Analysis of the Cahn–Hilliard–Hele-Shaw system with singular potential
The Cahn–Hilliard–Hele-Shaw system is a fundamental diffuse-interface model for an incompressible binary fluid confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. In this talk, we will discuss the CHHS system with a physically relevant potential (i.e., of logarithmic type). We first prove the existence of global weak solutions with finite energy. Then in dimension two, we further obtain the uniqueness and regularity of global weak solutions. In particular, we show that any weak solution satisfies the so-called strict separation property. When the spatial dimension is three, we prove the existence of a unique global strong solution, provided that the initial datum is regular enough and sufficiently close to any local minimizer of the free energy. This also yields the local Lyapunov stability of the local minimizer itself. Finally, we show that any global solution will converge to a single equilibrium as time goes to infinity. This is a joint work with A. Giorgini and M. Grasselli (Politecnico di Milano).
