Numerical Analysis of a Steepest-Descent PDE Model for Surface Relaxation below the Roughening Temperature
We study the numerical solution of a PDE describing the relaxation of a crystal surface to a flat facet. The PDE is a singular, nonlinear, fourth order evolution equation, which can be viewed as the gradient flow of a convex but nonsmooth energy with respect to the $H_{per}^{-1}$ inner product. …
