We consider in this paper the stabilized semi-implicit (in time) scheme and the splitting scheme for the Allen-Cahn equation $\phi_t-\Delta\phi+$ε$^-2f(\phi)=0$ arising from phase transitions in material science. For the stabilized first-order scheme, we show that it is unconditionally stable and the error bound depends on ε-1 in some lower polynomial order using the spectrum estimate of [2, 10, 11]. In addition, the first- and second-order operator splitting schemes are proposed and the accuracy are tested and compared with the semi-implicit schemes numerically.
Keywords: Allen-Cahn equation, error analysis., semi-implicit methods.
