We present a paradigm for developing arbitrarily high order, linear, unconditionally energy stable numerical algorithms for gradient flow models. We apply the energy quadratization (EQ) technique to reformulate the general gradient flow model into an equivalent gradient flow model with a quadratic free energy and a modified mobility. Given solutions up to $t_n=n Delta t$ with $Delta t$ the time step size, we linearize the EQ-reformulated gradient flow model in $(t_n, t_{n+1}]$ by extrapolation. Then we employ an algebraically stable Runge-Kutta method to discretize the linearized model in $(t_n, t_{n+1}]$. Then we use the Fourier pseudo-spectral method for the spatial discretization to match the order of accuracy in time. The resulting fully discrete scheme is linear, unconditionally energy stable, uniquely solvable, and may reach arbitrarily high order. Furthermore, we present a family of linear schemes based on prediction-correction methods to complement the new linear schemes. Some benchmark numerical examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the schemes.

We present a systematical approach to developing arbitrarily high order, unconditionally energy stable numerical schemes for thermodynamically consistent gradient flow models that satisfy energy dissipation laws. Utilizing the energy quadratization (EQ) method, We formulate the gradient flow model into an equivalent form with a corresponding quadratic free energy functional. Based on the equivalent form with a quadratic energy, we propose two classes of energy stable numerical approximations. In the first approach, we use a prediction-correction strategy to improve the accuracy of linear numerical schemes. In the second approach, we adopt the Gaussian collocation method to discretize the equivalent form with a quadratic energy, arriving at an arbitrarily high-order scheme for gradient flow models. Schemes derived using both approaches are proved rigorously to be unconditionally energy stable. The proposed schemes are then implemented in four gradient flow models numerically to demonstrate their accuracy and effectiveness. Detailed numerical comparisons among these schemes are carried out as well. These numerical strategies are rather general so that they can be readily generalized to solve any thermodynamically consistent PDE models.
In this paper, we propose a novel family of high-order numerical schemes for the gradient flow models based on the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach, which is named the high-order scalar auxiliary variable (HSAV) method. The newly proposed schemes could be shown to reach arbitrarily high order in time while preserving the energy dissipation law without any restriction on the time step size (i.e., unconditionally energy stable). The HSAV strategy is rather general that it does not depend on the specific expression of the effective free energy, such that it applies to a class of thermodynamically consistent gradient flow models arriving at semi-discrete high-order energy-stable schemes. We then employ the Fourier pseudospectral method for spatial discretization. The fully discrete schemes are also shown to be unconditionally energy stable. Furthermore, we present several numerical experiments on several widely-used gradient flow models, to demonstrate the accuracy, efficiency and unconditionally energy stability of the HSAV schemes. The numerical results verify that the HSAV schemes can reach the expected order of accuracy, and it allows a much larger time step size to reach the same accuracy than the standard SAV schemes.
This paper proposes a new class of arbitarily high-order conservative numerical schemes for the generalized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. This approach is based on the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) method. The equation is reformulated into an equivalent system by introducing a scalar auxiliary variable, and the energy is reformulated into a sum of two quadratic terms. Therefore, the quadratic preserving Runge-Kutta method will preserve both the mass and the reformulated energy in the discrete time flow. With the Fourier pseudo-spectral spatial discretization, the scheme conserves the first and third invariant quantities (momentum and energy) exactly in the fully discrete sense. The discrete mass possesses the precision of the spectral accuracy.
We introduce a class of high order accurate, semi-implicit Runge-Kutta schemes in the general setting of evolution equations that arise as gradient flow for a cost function, possibly with respect to an inner product that depends on the solution, and we establish their energy stability. This class includes as a special case high order, unconditionally stable schemes obtained via convexity splitting. The new schemes are demonstrated on a variety of gradient flows, including partial differential equations that are gradient flow with respect to the Wasserstein (mass transport) distance.
We develop and analyze a class of maximum bound preserving schemes for approximately solving Allen--Cahn equations. We apply a $k$th-order single-step scheme in time (where the nonlinear term is linearized by multi-step extrapolation), and a lumped mass finite element method in space with piecewise $r$th-order polynomials and Gauss--Lobatto quadrature. At each time level, a cut-off post-processing is proposed to eliminate extra values violating the maximum bound principle at the finite element nodal points. As a result, the numerical solution satisfies the maximum bound principle (at all nodal points), and the optimal error bound $O(tau^k+h^{r+1})$ is theoretically proved for a certain class of schemes. These time stepping schemes under consideration includes algebraically stable collocation-type methods, which could be arbitrarily high-order in both space and time. Moreover, combining the cut-off strategy with the scalar auxiliary value (SAV) technique, we develop a class of energy-stable and maximum bound preserving schemes, which is arbitrarily high-order in time. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the accuracy of the proposed method.
