We present a new mixed finite element method for solving the extended Fisher-Kolmogorov (EFK) equation. We first decompose the EFK equation as the two second-order equations, then deal with a second-order equation employing finite element method, and handle the other second-order equation using a new mixed finite element method. In the new mixed finite element method, the gradient∇ubelongs to the weaker(L2(Ω))2space taking the place of the classicalH(div;Ω)space. We prove some a priori bounds for the solution for semidiscrete scheme and derive a fully discrete mixed scheme based on a linearized Crank-Nicolson method. At the same time, we get the optimal a priori error estimates inL2andH1-norm for both the scalar unknownuand the diffusion termw=−Δuand a priori error estimates in(L2)2-norm for its gradientχ=∇ufor both semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes.
