Abstract
Given an unconditionally stable algorithm for solving the Cahn-Hilliard equations, we provide the mathematical basis for arbitrary accuracy -- we present a general calculation for an analytical time step Δ Tau in terms of an algorithmic time step Δ Tau. By studying the accumulative multi-step error in Fourier space and controlling the error with arbitrary accuracy, we determine an improved driving scheme Δ Tau = A Tau 2/3 and confirm the numerical results observed in a previous study [5].Citation
