We focus here on a class of fourth-order parabolic equations that can be written as a system of second-order equations by introducing an auxiliary variable. We design a novel second-order fully discrete mixed finite element method to approximate these equations. In our approach, we propose new techniques using the second-order backward differentiation formula for the time derivative and a special technique for the approximation of nonlinear terms. The use of the proposed technique for nonlinear terms makes the developed numerical scheme efficient in terms of computational cost since the proposed method only deals with a linear system at each time step and no iterative resolution is needed. A numerical convergence study is performed using the method of manufactured and analytical solutions of the system where we investigate different boundary conditions. With respect to the spatial discretization, convergence rates are found to at least match a priori error estimates available for linear problems. The convergence analysis is completed with an investigation of the temporal discretization where we numerically demonstrate the second-order time-accuracy of the proposed scheme using the method of reference solution. We present a series of numerical tests to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed scheme. |
