Résumé

We prove a lower bound on the rate of realaxation to equililbrium in the H¹ norm for a thin film equation. We find a two stagerelaxation, with power law decay in an initial interval followed byexponential decay, at an essentially optimal rate, for large times. The waiting time until the expoential decay sets in is explicitly estimated.
