Abstract
In this paper, we innovatively develop uniform/variable-time-step weighted and shifted BDF2 (WSBDF2) methods for the anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard (CH) model, combining the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach with two types of stabilized techniques. Using the concept of -stability, the uniform-time-step WSBDF2 method is theoretically proved to be energy-stable. Due to the inapplicability of the relevant G-stability properties, another technique is adopted in this work to demonstrate the energy stability of the variable-time-step WSBDF2 method. In addition, the two numerical schemes are all mass-conservative.Finally, numerous numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the stability and accuracy of these schemes.
