Energy dissipation laws of time filtered BDF methods up to fourth-order for the molecular beam epitaxial equation. (English) Zbl 1537.65109

Summary: This report presents the time filtered BDF-\(k\) (FiBDF-\(k\)) methods up to fourth-order time accuracy for the molecular beam epitaxial equation with no-slope selection. The new \((k + 1)\)-order methods are developed by introducing an inexpensive post-filtering step to the variable-step BDF-\(k\) (\(k=1,2,3\)) methods. We show that the FiBDF-\(k\) methods are uniquely solvable and volume conservative. Some novel discrete gradient structures of the FiBDF-\(k\) formulas are derived such that we can build up the discrete energy dissipation laws for the associated time-steppings. Numerical examples are included to show the mesh-robustness and effectiveness of the variable-step methods especially in the long-time simulations.
