Abstract

This paper presents a new mixed finite element method for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The well-posedness of the mixed formulation is established and the error estimates for its linearized fully discrete scheme are provided. The new mixed finite element method provides a unified construction in two and three dimensions allowing for arbitrary polynomial degrees. Numerical experiments are given to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the theoretical results.
