This article is devoted to the study of high order accuracy difference methods for the Cahn-Hilliard equation.A three level linearized compact difference scheme is derived.The unique solvability and unconditional convergence of the difference solution are proved.The convergence order is O(τ 2 + h 4 ) in the maximum norm.The mass conservation and the non-increase of the total energy are also verified.Some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Corrected explicit-implicit domain decomposition(CEIDD) algorithms are studied for parallel approximation of semilinear parabolic problems on distributed memory processors. It is natural to divide the spatial domain into some smaller parallel strips and cells using the simplest straightline interface(SI) . By using the Leray-Schauder fixed-point theorem and the discrete energy method,it is shown that the resulting CEIDD-SI algorithm is uniquely solvable,unconditionally stable and convergent. The CEIDD-SI method always suffers from the globalization of data communication when interior boundaries cross into each other inside the domain. To overcome this disadvantage,a composite interface(CI) that consists of straight segments and zigzag fractions is suggested. The corresponding CEIDD-CI algorithm is proven to be solvable,stable and convergent. Numerical experiments are presented to support the theoretical results.
