Optimal control problem for viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation

This paper is concerned with the viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation, which arises in the dynamics of viscous first order phase transitions in cooling binary solutions. The optimal control under boundary condition is given and the existence of optimal solution to the equation is proved.     

Dynamics of the viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation

We study generalized viscous Cahn-Hilliard problems with nonlinearities satisfying critical growth conditions in , where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in Rn, n?3. In the critical growth case, we prove that the problems are locally well posed and obtain a bootstrapping procedure showing that the solutions are classical. For p=2 and almost critical dissipative nonlinearities we prove global well posedness, existence of global attractors in and, uniformly with respect to the viscosity parameter, L^∞(Ω) bounds for the attractors. Finally, we obtain a result on continuity of regular attractors which shows that, if n=3,4, the attractor of the Cahn-Hilliard problem coincides (in a sense to be specified) with the attractor for the corresponding semilinear heat equation.

A multigrid method for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with obstacle potential

We present a multigrid finite element method for the deep quench obstacle Cahn-Hilliard equation. The non-smooth nature of this highly nonlinear fourth order partial differential equation make this problem particularly challenging. The method exhibits mesh-independent convergence properties in practice for arbitrary time step sizes. In addition, numerical evidence shows that this behaviour extends to small values of the interfacial parameter γ. Several numerical examples are given, including comparisons with existing alternative solution methods for the Cahn-Hilliard equation.     

A two-grid finite element method for the Allen-Cahn equation with the logarithmic potential

In this paper, we present a two-grid finite element method for the Allen-Cahn equation with the logarithmic potential. This method consists of two steps. In the first step, based on a fully implicit finite element method, the Allen-Cahn equation is solved on a coarse grid with mesh size H. In the second step, a linearized system whose nonlinear term is replaced by the value of the first step is solved on a fine grid with mesh size h. We give the energy stabilities of the traditional finite element method and the two-grid finite element method. The optimal convergence order of the two-grid finite element method in H¹ norm is achieved when the mesh sizes satisfy h = O(H²). Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme. The results show that the two-grid method can save the CPU time while keeping the same convergence rate.

Non-blow-up phenomenon for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with non-constant mobility

In this paper we prove that the finite time blow-up phenomenon might not occur for the Cahn-Hilliard equation with non-constant mobility and cubic nonlinearity, which is quite different from the case of constant mobility. We reveal such a phenomenon under some structure condition on the mobility.

Effect of Space Dimensions on Equilibrium Solutions of Cahn-Hilliard and Conservative Allen-Cahn Equations

In this study, we investigate the effect of space dimensions on the equilibrium solutions of the Cahn-Hilliard (CH) and conservative Allen-Cahn (CAC) equations in one, two, and three dimensions. The CH and CAC equations are fourth-order parabolic partial and second-order integro-partial differential equations, respectively. The former is used to model phase separation in binary mixtures, and the latter is used to model mean curvature flow with conserved mass. Both equations have been used for modeling various interface problems. To study the space-dimension effect on both the equations, we consider the equilibrium solution profiles for symmetric, radially symmetric, and spherically symmetric drop shapes. We highlight the different dynamics obtained from the CH and CAC equations. In particular, we find that there is a large difference between the solutions obtained from these equations in three-dimensional space.

Fully discrete dynamic mesh discontinuous Galerkin methods for the Cahn-Hilliard equation of phase transition

Fully discrete discontinuous Galerkin methods with variable mesh- es in time are developed for the fourth order Cahn-Hilliard equation arising from phase transition in materials science. The methods are formulated and analyzed in both two and three dimensions, and are proved to give optimal order error bounds. This coupled with the flexibility of the methods demonstrates that the proposed discontinuous Galerkin methods indeed provide an efficient and viable alternative to the mixed finite element methods and nonconforming (plate) finite element methods for solving fourth order partial differential equations.

     

On the Evolutionary Dynamics of the Cahn-Hilliard Equation with Cut-Off Mass Source

We investigate the effect of cut-off logistic source on evolutionary dynamics of a generalized Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation in this paper. It is a well-known fact that the maximum principle does not hold for the CH equation. Therefore, a generalized CH equation with logistic source may cause the negative concentration blow-up problem in finite time. To overcome this drawback, we propose the cut-off logistic source such that only the positive value greater than a given critical concentration can grow. We consider the temporal profiles of numerical results in the one-, two-, and three-dimensional spaces to examine the effect of extra mass source. Numerical solutions are obtained using a finite difference multigrid solver. Moreover, we perform numerical tests for tumor growth simulation, which is a typical application of generalized CH equations in biology. We apply the proposed cut-off logistic source term and have good results.

Fast evaluation and high accuracy finite element approximation for the time fractional subdiffusion equation

In this article, an efficient algorithm for the evaluation of the Caputo fractional derivative and the superconvergence property of fully discrete finite element approximation for the time fractional subdiffusion equation are considered. First, the space semidiscrete finite element approximation scheme for the constant coefficient problem is derived and supercloseness result is proved. The time discretization is based on the L1‐type formula, whereas the space discretization is done using, the fully discrete scheme is developed. Under some regularity assumptions, the superconvergence estimate is proposed and analyzed. Then, extension to the case of variable coefficients is also discussed. To reduce the computational cost, the fast evaluation scheme of the Caputo fractional derivative to solve the fractional diffusion equations is designed. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to support the theoretical results.     

An Explicit Pseudo-Spectral Scheme with Almost Unconditional Stability for the Cahn-Hilliard Equation

In this paper, an explicit fully discrete three-level pseudo-spectral scheme with almost unconditional stability for the Cahn-Hilliard equation is proposed. Stability and convergence of the scheme are proved by Sobolev's inequalities and the bounded extensive method of the nonlinear function (B.N. Lu (1995)). The scheme possesses the almost same stable condition and convergent accuracy as the Creak-Nicloson scheme but it is an explicit scheme. Thus the iterative method to solve nonlinear algebraic system is avoided. Moreover, the linear stability of the critical point $u_0$ is investigated and the linear dispersive relation is obtained. Finally, the numerical results are supplied, which check the theoretical results.
