Abstract

Abstract The mixed form of the Cahn–Hilliard equations is discretized by the hybridized discontinuous Galerkin method. For any chemical energy density, existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution is obtained. The scheme is proved to be unconditionally stable. Convergence of the method is obtained by deriving a priori error estimates that are valid for the Ginzburg–Landau chemical energy density and for convex domains. The paper also contains discrete functional tools, namely discrete Agmon and Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities, which are proved to be valid in the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin spaces.
