On a nonlocal phase-field system

Abstract We study the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data of the solution to a nonlocal phase-field system on a bounded domain. The system is a gradient flow for a free energy functional with nonlocal interaction. Also we study the asymptotic behavior of the solution and show the existence of an absorbing set in some metric space.
