To this end, we proceed in three steps: we first introduce the Cahn-Hilliard equation and how it is derived, and describe some of its applications; then, we approximate it with the finite element method and solve it with FreeFem++. Finally, we formulate the optimal control problem and solve it with FreeFem++.Phase field modelsCahn-Hilliard equationOptimal controlOptimizationFinite Element methodstudent work::semester or other student projects
