splitting methods numerical integration computational efficiency pitfalls

Coffee Time: 15:30 - 16:00. Splitting methods are a well-established tool for numerically integrating time-dependent partial differential equations. These methods split the vector field into disjoint components, which are integrated separately using an appropriate time step. The individual flows are then combined to obtain the desired numerical approximation.

nonlinear stability splitting methods Cahn-Hilliard equations

Splitting methods have been shown to a useful tool in solving phase field equations. However, rigorous nonlinear stability analysis has not been available. In this short course, we will discuss some recent development in this direction.
