Arbitrary high-order linearly implicit energy-preserving algorithms for Hamiltonian PDEs

In this paper, we present a novel strategy to systematically construct linearly implicit energy-preserving schemes with arbitrary order of accuracy for Hamiltonian PDEs. Such novel strategy is based on the newly developed exponential scalar variable (ESAV) approach that can remove the bounded-from-blew restriction of nonlinear terms in the Hamiltonian functional and provides a totally explicit discretization of the auxiliary variable without computing extra inner products, which make it more effective and applicable than the traditional scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach. To achieve arbitrary high-order accuracy and energy preservation, we utilize the symplectic Runge-Kutta method for both solution variables and the auxiliary variable, where the values of internal stages in nonlinear terms are explicitly derived via an extrapolation from numerical solutions already obtained in the preceding calculation. A prediction-correction strategy is proposed to further improve the accuracy. Fourier pseudo-spectral method is then employed to obtain fully discrete schemes. Compared with the SAV schemes, the solution variables and the auxiliary variable in these ESAV schemes are now decoupled. Moreover, when the linear terms are of constant coefficients, the solution variables can be explicitly solved by using the fast Fourier transform. Numerical experiments are carried out for three Hamiltonian PDEs to demonstrate the efficiency and conservation of the ESAV schemes

A novel high-order linearly implicit and energy-stable additive Runge-Kutta methods for gradient flow models

This paper introduces a novel paradigm for constructing linearly implicit and high-order unconditionally energy-stable schemes for general gradient flows, utilizing the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach and the additive Runge-Kutta (ARK) methods. We provide a rigorous proof of energy stability, unique solvability, and convergence. The proposed schemes generalizes some recently developed high-order, energy-stable schemes and address their shortcomings. On the one other hand, the proposed schemes can incorporate existing SAV-RK type methods after judiciously selecting the Butcher tables of ARK methods \cite{sav_li,sav_nlsw}. The order of a SAV-RKPC method can thus be confirmed theoretically by the order conditions of the corresponding ARK method. Several new schemes are constructed based on our framework, which perform to be more stable than existing SAV-RK type methods. On the other hand, the proposed schemes do not limit to a specific form of the nonlinear part of the free energy and can achieve high order with fewer intermediate stages compared to the convex splitting ARK methods \cite{csrk}. Numerical experiments demonstrate stability and efficiency of proposed schemes
