Abstract:

We present in this paper construction and analysis of a block-centered finite difference method for the spatial discretization of the scalar auxiliary variable Crank-Nicolson scheme (SAV/CN-BCFD) for gradient flows, and show rigorously that the scheme is second-order in both time and space in various discrete norms. When equipped with an adaptive time strategy, the SAV/CN-BCFD scheme is accurate and extremely efficient. Numerical experiments on typical Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations are presented to verify our theoretical results and to show the robustness and accuracy of the SAV/CN-BCFD scheme.
