A fully discrete evolving surface finite element method for the Cahn–Hilliard equation with a regular potential
摘要
We study two fully discrete evolving surface finite element schemes for the Cahn–Hilliard equation on an evolving surface, given a smooth potential with polynomial growth. In particular, we establish optimal order error bounds for a (fully implicit) backward Euler time-discretisation, and an implicit-explicit time-discretisation, with isoparametric surface finite elements discretising space.
