Higher-order Cahn–Hilliard equations with dynamic boundary conditions

Abstract Our aim in this paper is to study the well-posedness and the dissipativity of higher-order Cahn–Hilliard equations with dynamic boundary conditions. More precisely, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions and the existence of the global attractor.
