Abstract

We present an integral equation approach to solving the Cahn-Hilliard equation equipped with boundary conditions that model solid surfaces with prescribed Young's angles. The discretization of the system in time using convex splitting leads to a modified biharmonic equation at each time step. To solve it, we split the solution into a volume potential computed with free space kernels, plus the solution to a second kind integral equation (SKIE). The volume potential is evaluated with the help of a box-based volume-FMM method. For non-box domains, the source density is extended by solving a biharmonic Dirichlet problem. The near-singular boundary integrals are computed using quadrature by expansion (QBX) with FMM acceleration. Our method has linear complexity in the number of surface/volume degrees of freedom and can achieve high order convergence in space with adaptive refinement to manage error from function extension.
