An energy-stable pseudospectral scheme for Swift-Hohenberg equation with its Lyapunov functional

We analyze a first order in time Fourier pseudospectral scheme for Swift-Hohenberg equation. One major challenge for the higher order diffusion non-linear systems is how to ensure the unconditional energy stability and we propose an efficient scheme for the equation based on the convex splitting of...

Description
Summary:We analyze a first order in time Fourier pseudospectral scheme for Swift-Hohenberg equation. One major challenge for the higher order diffusion non-linear systems is how to ensure the unconditional energy stability and we propose an efficient scheme for the equation based on the convex splitting of the energy. The¬oretically, the energy stability of the scheme is proved. Moreover, following the derived aliasing error estimate, the convergence analysis in the discrete l2-norm for the proposed scheme is given.
