Abstract: The Swift-Hohenberg equation as a central nonlinear model in modern physics has a gradient flow structure. Here we introduce fully discrete discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for a class of fourth order gradient flow problems, including the nonlinear Swift-Hohenberg equation, to produce free-energy-decaying discrete solutions, irrespective of the time step and the mesh size. We exploit and extend the mixed DG method introduced in [H. Liu and P. Yin, J. Sci. Comput., 77: 467--501, 2018] for the spatial discretization, and the "Invariant Energy Quadratization" method for the time discretization. The resulting IEQ-DG algorithms are linear, thus they can be efficiently solved without resorting to any iteration method. We actually prove that these schemes are unconditionally energy stable. We present several numerical examples that support our theoretical results and illustrate the efficiency, accuracy and energy stability of our new algorithm. The numerical results on two dimensional pattern formation problems indicate that the method is able to deliver comparable patterns of high accuracy.
