Stability and Error Estimates with Optimal ε-Dependence for Strang Splitting of the Allen--Cahn Equation
Abstract
In this work, long-time Sobolev stability and error estimates with optimal ε-dependence are established for the Strang splitting method applied to the Allen--Cahn equation with periodic boundary conditions. By combining the modified energy dissipation law, and Hölder-Gagliardo-Nirenberg product estimates, the numerical solution is proven to admit uniform-in-time Hr-seminorm bounds 𝒪(ε−r+1), consistent with the corresponding Sobolev bounds of the exact solution. A second-order error estimate 𝒪(ε2τ2) is further established on any prescribed finite time interval, exhibiting quadratic dependence on ε. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the optimal ε-dependence of both the stability and error estimates.

AB - In this work, long-time Sobolev stability and error estimates with optimal ε-dependence are established for the Strang splitting method applied to the Allen--Cahn equation with periodic boundary conditions. By combining the modified energy dissipation law, and Hölder-Gagliardo-Nirenberg product estimates, the numerical solution is proven to admit uniform-in-time H^r-seminorm bounds 𝒪(ε^−r+1), consistent with the corresponding Sobolev bounds of the exact solution. A second-order error estimate 𝒪(ε^2τ^2) is further established on any prescribed finite time interval, exhibiting quadratic dependence on ε. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the optimal ε-dependence of both the stability and error estimates.
