Abstract
Scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) methods are a class of linear schemes for solving gradient flows that are known for the stability of a `modified' energy. In this paper, we propose an improved SAV (iSAV) scheme that not only retains the complete linearity but also ensures rigorously the stability of the original energy. The convergence and optimal error bound are rigorously established for the iSAV scheme and discussions are made for its high-order extension. Extensive numerical experiments are done to validate the convergence, robustness and energy stability of iSAV, and some comparisons are made.
