متن کاملA Linear Energy Stable Scheme for a Thin Film Model Without Slope Selection
We present a linear numerical scheme for a model of epitaxial thin film growth without slope selection. The PDE, which is a nonlinear, fourth-order parabolic equation, is the L2 gradient flow of the energy ∫ (− 2 ln(1 + |∇φ|2)+ 2 2 | φ(x)|2)dx. The idea of convex-concave decomposition of the energy functional is applied, which results in a numerical scheme that is unconditionally energy stable,...
متن کاملA Linear Iteration Algorithm for a Second-Order Energy Stable Scheme for a Thin Film Model Without Slope Selection
We present a linear iteration algorithm to implement a second-order energy stable numerical scheme for amodel of epitaxial thin film growth without slope selection. The PDE, which is a nonlinear, fourth-order parabolic equation, is the L2 gradient flow of the energy ∫ ( − 1 2 ln ( 1+ |∇φ|2+ 2 2 | φ(x)|2 ) dx. The energy stability is preserved by a careful choice of the second-order temporal app...
متن کاملThin Film Epitaxy with or without Slope Selection
Abstract. Two nonlinear diffusion equations for thin film epitaxy, with or without slope selection, are studied in this work. The nonlinearity models the Ehrlich-Schwoebel effect—the kinetic asymmetry in attachment and detachment of adatoms to and from terrace boundaries. Both perturbation analysis and numerical simulation are presented to show that such an atomistic effect is the origin of a n...
متن کاملThe Second-order Backward Differentiation Formula Is Unconditionally Zero-stable *
Previous studies of the stability of the second-order backward differentiation formula have concluded that stability is possible only if restrictions are placed on the stepsize ratios, for example, limiting the ratio to some value less than 1 + fi. However, actual implementations of the BDFs differ from the usual theoretical models of such methods; in particular, practical codes use scaled deri...
