Abstract

We consider the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation with additive space-time white noise ϵγW˙\epsilon^{\gamma}\dot{W} in dimension d=2,3d=2,3, where ϵ>0\epsilon>0 is an interfacial width parameter. We study numerical approximation of the equation which combines a structure preserving implicit time-discretization scheme with a discrete approximation of the space-time white noise. We derive a strong error estimate for the considered numerical approximation which is robust with respect to the inverse of the interfacial width parameter ϵ\epsilon. Furthermore, by a splitting approach, we show that for sufficiently large scaling parameter γ\gamma, the numerical approximation of the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation converges uniformly to the deterministic Hele-Shaw/Mullins-Sekerka problem in the sharp interface limit ϵ0\epsilon\rightarrow 0.
