Error estimate of full-discrete numerical scheme for the nonlocal Allen-Cahn model. (English) Zbl 07892713

Summary: In this work, we study the error estimates of the fully discrete Fourier pseudo-spectral numerical scheme for solving the nonlocal volume-conserved Allen-Cahn (AC) equation. The time marching method of the numerical scheme is based on the well-known Invariant Energy Quadratization (IEQ) method. We demonstrate that the proposed fully discrete numerical method is uniquely solvable, unconditionally energy stable, and obtain the optimal error estimate of the scheme for both space and time. Additionally, we conduct several numerical tests to verify the theoretical results.
