Abstract
The extended Fisher–Kolmogorov (EFK) equation has been used to describe some phenomena in physical, material and biological systems. In this paper, we propose a full-rank splitting scheme and a rank-adaptive splitting approach for this equation. We first use a finite difference method to approximate the space derivatives. Then, the resulting semi-discrete system is split into two stiff linear parts and a nonstiff nonlinear part. This leads to our full-rank splitting scheme. The convergence of the proposed scheme is proved rigorously. Based on the frame of the full-rank splitting scheme, we design a rank-adaptive splitting approach for obtaining a low-rank solution of the EFK equation. Numerical examples show that our methods are robust and accurate. They can also preserve the energy dissipation.
