Abstract

We present maximally-fast numerical algorithms for conserved coarsening systems that are stable and accurate with a growing natural time-step Δt=Ats2/3\Delta t=A t_s^{2/3}. For non-conserved systems, only effectively finite timesteps are accessible for similar unconditionally stable algorithms. We compare the scaling structure obtained from our maximally-fast conserved systems directly against the standard fixed-timestep Euler algorithm, and find that the error scales as A\sqrt{A} -- so arbitrary accuracy can be achieved.
