0 Introduction
This paper is devoted to pointwise estimate of following Cahn-Hilliard equation with inertial term:
Here is the usual Laplace operator, is a given constant. The nonlinear term has the form or , where , are positive integers and
Equation (1) is closely related to the well-known Cahn-Hilliard system
System (2) is a hyperbolic equation with relaxation which describes phase separation of a binary mixture and denotes the relative concentration of one phase. The fourth order differential operator of (2) makes its mathematical analysis more difficult than the corresponding second order equation[1]. Due to the physical background and mathematical difficulties, many mathematicians devoted their enthusiasm to the equation and got much qualitative behavior of the solution (see e.g. Refs.[2-8]). In order to model non-equilibrium decompositions caused by deep supercooling in certain glasses, Galenko et al[9] advised to append inertial term to (2). The unknown reflects the relative concentration of one phase. The modified system (1) shows a good agreement with experiments performed on glasses[9,10]. For simplicity, we later suppose .
The mathematical structure changed after the adjunction. Equation (1) is a hyperbolic equation with relaxation while (2) is a parabolic one, so they present different mathematical features. Eq. (1) has some mathematical difficulties because there is no regularization of the solution in finite time anymore. In order to get regularization, mathematicians often first study them with viscous term. Xu and Shi[11] got global existence with large initial data for any space dimension. Because of weak dissipation, previous work for (1) mainly focused on the so-called energy bounded solution and quasi-strong solution[12-14]. Wang and Wu[15] took advantage of frequency decomposition and energy method, and they got global existence and decay rate of classical solution of (1) for the case of with small initial data. Based on their work, Li and Mi[16] got pointwise decay estimate of the solution for . Their decay rates are closely related to the space dimension . The solution decays faster if is larger which makes it much more difficult to deal with lower space dimension. Obviously, compared with reflects the reality. We make much more delicate analysis of the nonlinear term with convolution of the Green function, and get the same decay rate as those of Refs.[15, 16].
We introduce some notations in this paper . We denote or a constant or constant depending on variable . denote usual Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces on and , with norms , , , respectively. is a multi-index with . Fourier transform to the variable of function is , that is , where is the imaginary unit. Thus the inverse Fourier transform to the variable of is defined as
The rest of this paper is arranged as follows. In Section 1, we give some preparing work. The estimate of the solution will be given in Section 2.
1 Preliminary Work
Our work is a follow-through of the global existence of (1), that is the Theorem 1.1 of Ref.[15]. We list it here.

In order to get estimate of high frequency part, we need to understand the construction of , and we can use Lemma 2.5 in Ref.[17]. That is
Lemma 1[17] Assume that with
