In this work, we analyze four finite volume methods for the nonlinear convective Cahn-Hilliard equation with specified initial condition and periodic boundary conditions. The methods used are: implicit one-level, explicit onelevel, implicit multilevel and explicit multilevel finite volume methods. The existence and uniqueness of solution, convergence and stability of the finite volume solutions are proved. We compute L2error and rate of convergence for all methods. We then compare the multilevel methods with the one-level methods by means of stability and CPU time. It is shown that the multilevel finite volume method is faster than the one-level method.
