Abstract: We consider the Cahn-Hilliard equation in $H^1(\mathbb R^N)$ with two types of critically growing nonlinearities: nonlinearities satisfying a certain limit condition as $|u|\to\infty$ and logistic type nonlinearities. In both situations we prove the $H^2(\mathbb R^N)$-bound on the solutions and show that the individual solutions are suitably attracted by the set of equilibria. This complements the results in the literature; see J. W. Cholewa, A. Rodriguez-Bernal (2012).

Keywords: initial value problem for higher order parabolic equations; asymptotic behavior of solutions; critical exponent
