Abstract:
A second order two-grid algorithm for Allen-Cahn equation is developed by using the nonconforming
EQ1rot finite element. Based on the special properties of this element, the derivative transfer technique and the interpolated postprocessing approach, the superclose and superconvergence results of order
O(
h2+
H4+
τ2) in the broken
H1-norm are deduced. A numerical example is given to verify the theoretical predictions and to show the efficiency of the proposed method. Here,
h,
H and
τ represent the mesh size of fine grid, mesh size of coarse grid and time step size, respectively.
