摘要:Theoretical analysis of the three-step backward difference formula (BDF3) with variable step-sizes for parabolic equations is highly nontrivial so far. In this talk, we report the positive definiteness property of the variable-step BDF3 method by establishing a gradient decomposition under a new restriction $0.5\leq \rho_n\leq 1.7319$, where $\rho_n$ is the adjacent step-size ratio. The condition improves the upper bound of the step-size ratio in existing results, and is significant for the subsequent stability and convergence analysis. An original framework to analyze the variable-step BDF3 schemes for parabolic equations is provided under the new condition. In addition, the Cahn-Hilliard equation is taken as a nonlinear prototype to elucidate the proposed framework, for which the energy stability and optimal third order convergence rate are both derived rigorously. Several numerical examples verify the accuracy and efficiency of the developed method.
