An analysis of the fourth‐order PDEs – ‘patterns’ and ‘di‐block polymers’

Abstract

We analyze some fourth‐order partial differential equations that model the ‘propagation of hexagonal patterns’ and the ‘microphase separation of di‐block copolymers’. The underlying invariance properties and conservation laws of the models and related partial differential equations are studied. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
