We optimize a numerical time-stabilization routine for the phase-field
crystal (PFC) models of solidification. By numerical experiments, we showcase
that our approach can improve the accuracy of underlying time integration
schemes by a few orders of magnitude. We investigate different time integration
schemes. Moreover, as a prototypical example for applications, we extend our
numerical approach to a PFC model of solidification with an explicit
temperature coupling.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
