In this paper, we develop, analysis and testthe Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method for the fourth orderCahn-Hilliard equation in one dimension. The method, which isdifferent from the traditional local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG)method, can be applied without introducing any auxiliary variablesor rewriting the original equation into a larger system. we provestability by choosing interface numerical fluxes carefully, finallyfor the linear case, a $O(h^{k-1})$ error estimate can be proved forpiecewise polynomials of degree $k$ when $kgeq 3$. |
