Abstract

In this paper, the weak Galerkin finite element method with the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach is considered for the Allen-Cahn equation. Based on the elliptic reconstruction technique, the elliptic equation corresponding to the Allen-Cahn equation is introduced, which is employed to split the numerical error into the elliptic error and the parabolic error. Then the weak gradient recovery type a posteriori error estimator of the elliptic equation is adopted to develop the time-space adaptive algorithm. The effectiveness of the SAV weak Galerkin finite element method and the time-space adaptive algorithm is verified by several numerical benchmarks on both uniform and adaptive meshes.
