Positivity Preserving Nonstandard Finite Difference Schemes Applied to Cancer Growth Model
نویسنده
چکیده
When one solves differential equations, modeling biological or physical phenomena, it is of great importance to take physical constraints into account. More precisely, numerical schemes have to be designed such that discrete solutions satisfy the same constraints as exact solutions. In this work, we introduce explicit finite difference schemes based on the nonstandard discretization method to approximate solution of the cross-diffusion system from bioscience. The proposed schemes improve the accuracy and guarantee the positivity requirement, as is demanded for the solution of such system. We apply new methods for numerical integration of the cancer growth model for illustrating the performance of them.

Positivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference Schemes for simulation of advection-diffusion reaction equations
Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...
متن کاملAn efficient nonstandard numerical method with positivity preserving property
Classical explicit finite difference schemes are unsuitable for the solution of the famous Black-Scholes partial differential equation, since they impose severe restrictions on the time step. Furthermore, they may produce spurious oscillations in the solution. We propose a new scheme that is free of spurious oscillations and guarantees the positivity of the solution for arbitrary stepsizes. The...
متن کاملA family of positive nonstandard numerical methods with application to Black-Scholes equation
Nonstandard finite difference schemes for the Black-Scholes partial differential equation preserving the positivity property are proposed. Computationally simple schemes are derived by using a nonlocal approximation in the reaction term of the Black-Scholes equation. Unlike the standard methods, the solutions of new proposed schemes are positive and free of the spurious oscillations.

متن کاملPositivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference schemes for cross-diffusion equations in biosciences
We design nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) schemes which are unconditionally dynamically consistent with respect to the positivity property of solutions of cross-diffusion equations in biosciences. This settles a problem that was open for quite some time. The study is done in the setting of three concrete and highly relevant cross-diffusion systems regarding tumor growth, convective predato...
