Stability and Convergence Analysis of Unconditionally Energy Stable and Second Order Method for Cahn-Hilliard Equation

In this work,we construct an efficient invariant energy quadratization(IEQ)method of unconditional energy stability to solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation.The constructed numerical scheme is linear,second-order accuracy in time and unconditional energy stability.We carefully analyze the unique solvability,stability and error estimate of the numerical scheme.The results show that the constructed scheme satisfies unique solvability,unconditional energy stability and the second-order convergence in time direction.Through a large number of 2D and 3D numerical experiments,we further verify the convergence order,unconditional energy stability and effectiveness of the scheme.
