Stability of linear multistep methods and applications to nonlinear parabolic problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present paper, stability and convergence properties of linear multistep methods are investigated. The attention is focused on parabolic problems and variable stepsizes. Under weak assumptions on the method and the stepsize sequence an asymptotic stability result is shown. Further, stability bounds for linear nonautonomous parabolic problems with Hölder continuous operator are given. With the help of these results, convergence estimates for semilinear and fully nonlinear parabolic problems are derived. 2003 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Stability properties of implicit-explicit multistep methods for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations
We consider the discretization of a special class of nonlinear parabolic equations, including the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation, by implicit–explicit multistep methods and establish stability under a best possible linear stability condition.
متن کاملStability of Implicit and Implicit–explicit Multistep Methods for Nonlinear Parabolic Equations
We analyze the discretization of nonlinear parabolic equations in Hilbert spaces by both implicit and implicit–explicit multistep methods and establish local stability under best possible and best possible linear stability conditions, respectively. Our approach is based on suitable quantifications of the non-self-adjointness of linear elliptic operators and a discrete perturbation argument.
متن کاملA numerical scheme for solving nonlinear backward parabolic problems
In this paper a nonlinear backward parabolic problem in one dimensional space is considered. Using a suitable iterative algorithm, the problem is converted to a linear backward parabolic problem. For the corresponding problem, the backward finite differences method with suitable grid size is applied. It is shown that if the coefficients satisfy some special conditions, th...
متن کاملLinearly implicit methods for nonlinear parabolic equations
We construct and analyze combinations of rational implicit and explicit multistep methods for nonlinear parabolic equations. The resulting schemes are linearly implicit and include as particular cases implicit-explicit multistep schemes as well as the combination of implicit Runge-Kutta schemes and extrapolation. An optimal condition for the stability constant is derived under which the schemes...
