We derive a posteriori estimates for a discretization in space of the standard Cahn-Hilliard equation with a double obstacle free energy. The derived estimates are robust and efficient, and in practice are combined with a heuristic time step adaptation. We present numerical experiments in two and three space dimensions and compare our method with an existing heuristic spatial mesh adaptation algorithm. © 2009 EDP Sciences SMAI.

Abstract
We derive a posteriori estimates for a discretization in space of the standard Cahn-Hilliard equation with a double obstacle free energy. The derived estimates are robust and efficient, and in practice are combined with a heuristic time step adaptation. We present numerical experiments in two and three space dimensions and compare our method with an existing heuristic spatial mesh adaptation algorithm. © 2009 EDP Sciences SMAI.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
