4 Cahn-Hilliard (CH) problem Let Ω R 2 be an open bounded domain. Let ψ(x) = (1 x 2 ) 2 /4 and φ(x) = ψ (x). t u ( φ(u) γ 2 u(t) ) = 0 in Ω [0, T ], u(, 0) = u 0 ( ) in Ω, ( n u = n φ(u) γ 2 u(t) ) = 0 on Ω [0, T ], where n denotes the (outward) normal derivative and γ R +, 0 < γ 1, represents the interface parameter. CH models the evolution of interfaces specified as the level set of a smooth continuos function u exhibiting large gradients across the interface [Korteweg 1901, Cahn and Hilliard 1958, Ginzburg and Landau 1965, van der Waals 1979] Many applications: phase separation in binary alloys, tumor growth, origin of Saturn s rings, separation of di-block copolymers, population dynamics, image processing, clustering of mussels...

CH is a fourth order nonlinear problem C 1 FEM (see [Elliott Zheng, 1986], [Elliott French, 1987]). To avoid the well known difficulty met in the implementation of C 1 FEM, another possibility is the use of non-conforming (see [Elliott French, 1989] or discontinuous (see [Wells Kuhl Garikipati, 2006]) methods.

16 Towards C 1 -VEM discretization of CH Ω h decomposition of Ω into polygons E Intermediate local space (see [Brezzi Marini, 2013]): { Ṽ h E = v H 2 (E) : 2 v P 2 (E), v E C 0 ( E), v e P 3 (e) e E, } v E [C 0 ( E)] 2, n v e P 1 (e) e E, M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

17 Towards C 1 -VEM discretization of CH Ω h decomposition of Ω into polygons E Intermediate local space (see [Brezzi Marini, 2013]): { Ṽ h E = v H 2 (E) : 2 v P 2 (E), v E C 0 ( E), v e P 3 (e) e E, } v E [C 0 ( E)] 2, n v e P 1 (e) e E, Linear Operators: D1 evaluation of v at the vertexes of E; D2 evaluation of v at the vertexes of E. M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

18 The operator Π E The projection operator Π E : Ṽh E P 2 (E) is defined by { a E (Π E v h, q) = a E (v h, q) q P 2 (E) for all v h Ṽh E where ((v h, w h )) E = ((Π E v h, q)) E = ((v h, q)) E ν vertexes of E v h (ν) w h (ν) q P 1 (E), v h, w h C 0 (E). The operator Π E is uniquely determined by D1 and D2, i.e. Π E v h depends only on the values of v h and v h at the vertices of E. M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

19 Virtual local space W h E = { v Ṽh E : Π E (v h) q dx = E E v h q dx q P 2 (E) }. [Ahmad Alsaedi Brezzi Marini Russo, 2013] M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

20 Virtual local space W h E = { v Ṽh E : Π E (v h) q dx = E E v h q dx q P 2 (E) }. Properties: The set of operators D1 and D2 constitutes a set of degrees of freedom for the space W h E. [Ahmad Alsaedi Brezzi Marini Russo, 2013] M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

21 Virtual local space W h E = { v Ṽh E : Π E (v h) q dx = E E v h q dx q P 2 (E) }. Properties: The set of operators D1 and D2 constitutes a set of degrees of freedom for the space W h E. P 2 (E) W h E. [Ahmad Alsaedi Brezzi Marini Russo, 2013] M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

22 Virtual local space W h E = { v Ṽh E : Π E (v h) q dx = E E v h q dx q P 2 (E) }. Properties: The set of operators D1 and D2 constitutes a set of degrees of freedom for the space W h E. P 2 (E) W h E. The L 2 -projection Π 0 E : W h E P 2 (E) defined by a 0 E (Π0 E v h, q) = a 0 E (v h, q) q P 2 (E), is computable (only) on the basis of the values of the degrees of freedom D1 and D2.

23 Global VEM space Properties: W h = { v V : v E W h E E Ω h } W h H 2 (Ω) conforming VEM solution. The global degrees of freedom are: values of v h at the vertexes of the mesh Ω h ; values of v h at the vertexes of the mesh Ω h. Dimension of W h is three times the number of vertexes in the mesh.

24 The operator Π E We define Π E : W h E P 2 (E) by ae (Π E v h, q) = ae (v h, q) Π E v h dx = v h dx. E E q P 2 (E) Since the bilinear form ae (, ) has a non trivial kernel (given by the constant functions) we added a second condition in order to keep the operator Π E well defined. The operator Π E is uniquely determined by D1 and D2 M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

25 Local discrete bilinear forms We propose the following discrete (and symmetric) local forms ah,e (v h, w h ) = ae (Π E v h, Π E w h) + h 2 E s E (v h Π E v h, w h Π E w h), ah,e (v h, w h ) = ae (Π E v h, Π E w h) + s E (v h Π E v h, w h Π E w h), a 0 h,e (v h, w h ) = a 0 E (Π0 E v h, Π 0 E w h) + h 2 E s E (v h Π 0 E v h, w h Π 0 E w h), for all v h, w h W h E, where s E (v h, w h ) = ν vertexes of E ( ) v h (ν) w h (ν) + (h ν ) 2 v h (ν) w h (ν) being h ν some characteristic mesh size lenght associated to the node ν (for instance the maximum diameter among the elements having ν as a vertex). M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

26 Properties of the discrete bilinear forms The symbol stands for the symbol, or 0. (Consistency) a h,e (p, v h) = a E (p, v h) p P 2 (E), v h W h E, (Stability) 1 There exist two positive constants c, c independent of the element E {Ω h } h such that c a E (v h, v h ) a h,e (v h, v h ) c a E (v h, v h ) v h W h E, The bilinear forms a h,e (, ) are continuous with respect to the relevant norm: H 2 (for = ), H 1 (for = ) and L 2 (for = 0). 1 It holds under regularity assumption on the polygonal partition M.

27 Global discrete bilinear forms The global discrete bilinear form is assembled as usual a h (v h, w h ) = E Ω h a h,e (v h, w h ) v h, w h W h, with the usual multiple meaning of the symbol. M. Verani (MOX - PoliMi) VEM Cahn-Hilliard POEMs / 28

32 C 1 -VEM semi-discrete scheme Discrete global space with boundary conditions: W 0 h = W h V = { v W h : n u = 0 on Ω }. The semi-discrete problem is: Find u h (, t) in Wh 0 such that ah 0 ( tu h, v h ) + γ 2 ah (u h, v h ) + r h (u h, u h ; v h ) = 0, u h (0, ) = u 0,h ( ), for all v h W 0 h being u 0,h W 0 h a suitable approximation of u 0.
