چکیده
The Cahn-Hilliard equation is discretized by a Galerkin finite element method based on continuous piecewise linear functions in space and discontinuous piecewise constant functions in time. A posteriori error estimates are proved by using the methodology of dual weighted residuals.

A Posteriori Error Estimates for Finite Element Approximations of the Cahn-hilliard Equation and the Hele-shaw Flow
This paper develops a posteriori error estimates of residual type for conforming and mixed finite element approximations of the fourth order Cahn-Hilliard equation ut + ∆ ` ε∆u− ε−1f(u) ́ = 0. It is shown that the a posteriori error bounds depends on ε−1 only in some low polynomial order, instead of exponential order. Using these a posteriori error estimates, we construct an adaptive algorithm f...

An asymptotic limit of a class of Cahn–Hilliard systems is investigated to obtain a general nonlinear diffusion equation. The target diffusion equation may reproduce a number of well-known model equations: Stefan problem, porous media equation, Hele-Shaw profile, nonlinear diffusion of singular logarithmic type, nonlinear diffusion of Penrose–Fife type, fast diffusion equation and so on. Namely...

An error bound is proved for a fully practical piecewise linear nite element approximation, using a backward Euler time discretization, of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a logarithmic free energy.
متن کاملFinite Element Approximation of the Linearized Cahn-hilliard-cook Equation
The linearized Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation is discretized in the spatial variables by a standard finite element method. Strong convergence estimates are proved under suitable assumptions on the covariance operator of the Wiener process, which is driving the equation. The backward Euler time stepping is also studied. The analysis is set in a framework based on analytic semigroups. The main part ...
