A finite element approximation of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate mobility \[ {\partial u\over\partial t}= \nabla(b(u) \nabla(-\gamma\Delta u+ \Psi'(u))) \] is considered, where \(b(u)\geq 0\) is a diffusional mobility and \(\Psi(u)\) is a homogeneous free energy. Well-posedness and stability bounds for this approximation is shown and convergence in one space dimension is proved. An iterative scheme for solving the resulting nonlinear discrete system is analyzed and a method is discussed how this approximation has to be modified in order to be applicable to a logarithmic homogeneous free energy. Some numerical experiments are presented.
