Unconditional Stability for Multistep ImEx Schemes: Theory

Unconditional Stability for Multistep ImEx Schemes: Theory

This paper presents a new class of high order linear ImEx multistep schemes with large regions of unconditional stability. Unconditional stability is a desirable property of a time stepping scheme, as it allows the choice of time step solely based on accuracy considerations. Of particular interest are problems for which both the implicit and explicit parts of the ImEx splitting are stiff. Such ...

Unconditional stability of a partitioned IMEX method for magnetohydrodynamic flows

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows are governed by Navier–Stokes equations coupled with Maxwell equations through coupling terms. We prove the unconditional stability of a partitioned method for the evolutionary full MHD equations, at high magnetic Reynolds number, written in the Elsässer variables. The method we analyze is a first-order onestep scheme, which consists of implicit discretization of...

Domain decomposition schemes with high-order accuracy and unconditional stability

Parallel finite difference schemes with high-order accuracy and unconditional stability for solving parabolic equations are presented. The schemes are based on domain decomposition method, i.e., interface values between subdomains are computed by the explicit scheme; interior values are computed by the implicit scheme. The numerical stability and error are derived in the H norm in one dimension...

On stability issues for IMEX schemes applied to 1D scalar hyperbolic equations with stiff reaction terms

The application of a Method of Lines to a hyperbolic PDE with source terms gives rise to a system of ODEs containing terms that may have very different stiffness properties. In this case, Implicit-Explicit Runge-Kutta (IMEX-RK) schemes are particularly useful as high order time integrators because they allow an explicit handling of the convective terms, which can be discretized using the highly...
