contents The Ohta-Kawasaki equation models the mesoscopic phase separation of immiscible polymer chains that form diblock copolymers, with applications in directed self-assembly for lithography. We perform a mathematical analysis of this model under degenerate mobility and an external force, proving the existence of weak solutions via an approximation scheme for the mobility function. Additionally, we propose a fully discrete scheme for the system and demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of its discrete solution, showing that it inherits essential structural-preserving properties. Finally, we conduct numerical experiments to compare the Ohta-Kawasaki system with the classical Cahn-Hilliard model, highlighting the impact of the repulsion parameter on the phase separation dynamics.
