A higher order nonconforming virtual element method for the Cahn-Hilliard equation
In this paper we develop a fully nonconforming virtual element method (VEM) of arbitrary approximation order for the two dimensional Cahn-Hilliard equation. We carry out the error analysis for the continuous-in-time scheme and verify the theoretical convergence result via numerical experiments. We present a fully discrete scheme which uses a convex splitting Runge-Kutta method to discretize in the temporal variable alongside the virtual element spatial discretization.
