Abstract

In this paper, we consider a new Swift–Hohenberg equation, where the total mass of this model is conserved through a nonlocal Lagrange multiplier. Based on the operator splitting method and spectral method, a fast and efficient numerical algorithm is proposed. Three numerical examples in both two and three dimensions are provided to illustrate that the proposed algorithm is a practical, accurate, and efficient simulation tool for the nonlocal Swift–Hohenberg equation.

Highlights

  • Introduction e SwiftHohenberg model [1] was first introduced by Swift and Hohenberg in studies of Rayleigh–Benard convection and has become one of the paradigms of the nonlinear dynamical system leading to complex pattern formation

  • We aim to develop a fast explicit algorithm based on the operator splitting method [14, 16, 17]. e main idea of the method is to solve problem (4) through three parts: the linear homogeneous heat equation was first solved via the Fourier spectral method and the nonlinear part and the nonlocal equation were solved explicitly

  • We present a time-splitting spectral method to simulate the asymptotic behavior of the solution of equation (4). e proposed method is based on the operator splitting method for the time and spectral method for the space

A Fast and Efficient Numerical Algorithm for the Nonlocal Conservative Swift–Hohenberg Equation. We consider a new Swift–Hohenberg equation, where the total mass of this model is conserved through a nonlocal Lagrange multiplier. Zhang and Yang [15] very recently proposed a conservative Swift–Hohenberg equation with a nonlocal Lagrange multiplier to cancel out the variation in mass without influencing the original energy. We present a time-splitting spectral method to simulate the asymptotic behavior of the solution of equation (4). E operator splitting method for the conservative Swift–Hohenberg equation is constructed as follows. Based on the theory of spectral method [20], the solution to equation (11) derived with periodic boundary conditions can be represented by the following band-limited Fourier series: FN− 1[φ􏽥(t)](x, y) ≔ PNφ􏼁(x, y, t). Fourier transform (FFT) may be used to calculate the Fourier coefficients {φ􏽥p,q(t)} from the discrete function values {φi,j(t)}: FN[φ(t)](p, q)
