Abstract
Our aim in this talk is to discuss issues related with the Cahn-Hilliard equation in phase separation with the thermodynamically relevant logarithmic potentials. In particular, we discuss the well-posedness and the asymptotic behavior of the system. Furthermore, we consider both the usual Neumann boundary conditions and the newly proposed dynamic boundary conditions.
