Maximum Principle Preserving Schemes for Binary Systems with Long-range Interactions
share
We study some maximum principle preserving and energy stable schemes for the Allen-Cahn-Ohta-Kawasaki model with fixed volume constraint. With the inclusion of a nonlinear term in the Ohta-Kawasaki free energy functional, we show that the Allen-Cahn-Ohta-Kawasaki dynamics is maximum principle preserving. We further design some first order energy stable numerical schemes which inherit the maximum principle preservation in both semi-discrete and fully-discrete levels. Furthermore, we apply the maximum principle preserving schemes to a general framework for binary systems with long-range interactions. We also present some numerical results to support our theoretical findings.
