Abstract In this paper, we mainly study the error analysis of an unconditionally energy stable local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) scheme for the Cahn–Hilliard equation with concentration-dependent mobility. The time discretization is based on the invariant energy quadratization (IEQ) method. The fully discrete scheme leads to a linear algebraic system to solve at each time step. The main difficulty in the error estimates is the lack of control on some jump terms at cell boundaries in the LDG discretization. Special treatments are needed for the initial condition and the non-constant mobility term of the Cahn–Hilliard equation. For the analysis of the non-constant mobility term, we take full advantage of the semi-implicit time-discrete method and bound some numerical variables in L ∞ L^{\infty} -norm by the mathematical induction method. The optimal error results are obtained for the fully discrete scheme.

In this paper, a second-order accurate (in time) energy stable Fourier spectral scheme for the fractional-in-space Cahn-Hilliard (CH) equation is considered. The time is discretized by the implicit backward differentiation formula (BDF), along with a linear stabilized term which represents a second-order Douglas-Dupont-type regularization. The semidiscrete schemes are shown to be energy stable and to be mass conservative. Then we further use Fourier-spectral methods to discretize the space. Some numerical examples are included to testify the effectiveness of our proposed method. In addition, it shows that the fractional order controls the thickness and the lifetime of the interface, which is typically diffusive in integer order case.
