Abstract
In this paper, we are concerned with the well-posedness and large time behavior of Cauchy problem for Cahn–Hilliard equation in \(\mathbb {R}^n\) (\(n\in \mathbb {Z}^+,~n\ge 3\)). First, based on the higher-order norm estimates of solutions and the mollifier technique, we obtain the local well-posedness of strong solutions. Then, by using pure energy method, standard continuity argument together with negative Sobolev norm estimates, one proves the global well-posedness and time decay estimates provided that the \(H^{\left[ \frac{n}{2}\right] +1}\)-norm of initial data is sufficiently small.
