On the Stability of Certain Difference Schemes*

چکیده
The von Neumann stabil i ty criterion is employed in analyzing the stabili ty of a class of difference schemes for initial-value problems involving linear parabolic partial differential equations, u t = A u. I t is shown that , cont rary to the usual rule of thumb, there exist completely implicit difference schemes which are uncondit ionally unstable. Further , it is shown that the stabili ty properties of certain sets of corresponding schemes are closely related. We consider the linear parabolic partial differential equation for u = u ( m , t)

APPROXIMATION OF STOCHASTIC PARABOLIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH TWO DIFFERENT FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEMES
We focus on the use of two stable and accurate explicit finite difference schemes in order to approximate the solution of stochastic partial differential equations of It¨o type, in particular, parabolic equations. The main properties of these deterministic difference methods, i.e., convergence, consistency, and stability, are separately developed for the stochastic cases.
متن کاملThe new implicit finite difference scheme for two-sided space-time fractional partial differential equation
Fractional order partial differential equations are generalizations of classical partial differential equations. Increasingly, these models are used in applications such as fluid flow, finance and others. In this paper we examine some practical numerical methods to solve a class of initial- boundary value fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. S...
متن کاملOn Nonlocal Monotone Difference Schemes
We provide error analyses for explicit, implicit, and semi-implicit monotone finitedifference schemes on uniform meshes with nonlocal numerical fluxes. We are motivated by finite-difference discretizations of certain long-wave (Sobolev) regularizations of the conservation laws that explicitly add a dispersive term as well as a nonlinear dissipative term. We also develop certain relationships be...
متن کاملO N Certain Finite-difference Methods for Fluid Dynamics
Two finite-difference methods for, geophysical .fluid problems are described, and stability conditions of these schemes arc discussed. These two schemes are formulated based upon a similar procedure given by Lax and Wendroff in order to obtain a second-order accuracy in finite-difference equations. However, the two schemes show remarkable differcnces.io their computational stability. One scheme...
متن کاملEntropy Stable Schemes
We review the topic of entropy stability of discrete schemes, finite-difference and finite-volume schemes, for the approximate solution of nonlinear systems of conservation laws. The question of entropy stability plays an important role in both, the theory and computation of such systems, which is reflected by the extensive literature on this topic. Here we focus on a several key ingredients in...
