This is the case, e.g., for diblock copolimer melts, where ${\\cal F}$ is minimized by a steady periodic pattern whose wavelength $\\lambda_{GS}$ depends on the segregation strength $\\alpha^{-1}$ and it is know since long time that in one spatial dimension $\\lambda_{GS} \\simeq \\alpha^{-1/3}$. Here we study in details the dynamics of the system in 1D for different initial conditions and by varying $\\alpha$ by five orders of magnitude. We find that, depending on the initial state, the final configuration may h"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1412.6269","kind":"arxiv","version":3},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
