✦ Synopsis

This paper reports a fully discretized scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The method uses a convexity-splitting scheme to discretize in the temporal variable and a nonconforming finite element method to discretize in the spatial variable. And, the scheme can preserve the mass conservation and energy dissipation properties of the original problem. Some typical phase transition phenomena are also observed through the numerical examples.

We develop a method for adaptive mesh refinement for steady state problems that arise in the numerical solution of Cahn-Hilliard equations with an obstacle free energy. The problem is discretized in time by the backward-Euler method and in space by linear finite elements. The adaptive mesh refinemen
