Robust a posteriori error control for the Allen-Cahn equation with variable mobility (2403.08898v1)

Published 13 Mar 2024 in math.NA, cs.NA, and math.AP

Abstract: In this work, we derive a $\gamma$-robust a posteriori error estimator for finite element approximations of the Allen-Cahn equation with variable non-degenerate mobility. The estimator utilizes spectral estimates for the linearized steady part of the differential operator as well as a conditional stability estimate based on a weighted sum of Bregman distances, based on the energy and a functional related to the mobility. A suitable reconstruction of the numerical solution in the stability estimate leads to a fully computable estimator.
