Abstract

Given an unconditionally stable algorithm for solving the Cahn-Hilliard equation, we present a general calculation for an analytic time step τ in terms of an algorithmic time step . By studying the accumulative multi-step error in Fourier space and controlling the error with arbitrary accuracy, we determine an improved driving scheme =At2/3 and confirm the numerical results observed in a previous study Cheng1.
