Stability analysis of consistent splitting implicit-explicit multistep methods up to ninth-order accuracy for incompressible flows

This work presents a concise, unified stability theory of high-order decoupled \lan{implicit-explicit linear multistep (IELM)} methods based on the well-known consistent splitting technique for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. With the help of the recent semi-generating function approach and the global discrete energy analysis, one can establish the unconditional stability of a consistent splitting IELM method with respect to the $\ell^{\infty}(H^1)\cap \ell^{2}(H^2)$ norm if the associated implicit-explicit controllability intensity is larger than $\sqrt{2}/2$, a constant determined by the Stokes pressure estimate. It is shown that the $\beta$-parameterized GBDF-$\rmk$ ($2\le \rmk\le5$) schemes and $\gamma$-parameterized SIELM-$\rmk$ ($2\le \rmk\le9$) schemes can fulfill this requirement of implicit-explicit controllability intensity by choosing proper parameters so that they can theoretically maintain the unconditional stability of the associated consistent splitting IELM methods. Numerical experiments are also included to support our theory.

$L^2$ norm error estimates of BDF methods up to fifth-order for the phase field crystal model

The well-known backward difference formulas (BDF) of the third, the fourth and the fifth orders are investigated for time integration of the phase field crystal model. By building up novel discrete gradient structures of the BDF-$\rmk$ ($\rmk=3,4,5$) formulas, we establish the energy dissipation laws at the discrete levels and then obtain the priori solution estimates for the associated numerical schemes (however, we can not build any discrete energy dissipation law for the corresponding BDF-6 scheme because the BDF-6 formula itself does not have any discrete gradient structures). With the help of the discrete orthogonal convolution kernels and Young-type convolution inequalities, some concise $L^2$ norm error estimates (with respect to the starting data in the $L^2$ norm) are established via the discrete energy technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time such type $L^2$ norm error estimates of non-A-stable BDF schemes are obtained for nonlinear parabolic equations. Numerical examples are presented to verify and support the theoretical analysis.
