High Accuracy Analysis of Nonconforming Mixed Finite Element Method for the Nonlinear Sivashinsky Equation

The fourth-order nonlinear Sivashinsky equation is often used to simulate a planar solid-liquid interface for a binary alloy. In this paper, we study the high accuracy analysis of the nonconforming mixed finite element method (MFEM for short) for this equation. Firstly, by use of the special propert...
