Second-Order Unconditionally Stable Direct Methods for Allen–Cahn and Conservative Allen–Cahn Equations on Surfaces

This paper describes temporally second-order unconditionally stable direct methods for Allen–Cahn and conservative Allen–Cahn equations on surfaces. The discretization is performed via a surface mesh consisting of piecewise triangles and its dual-surface polygonal tessellation. We prove that the pro...
