We analyze a Crank–Nicolson–type finite difference scheme for the Kuramoto– Sivashinsky equation in one space dimension with periodic boundary conditions. We discuss linearizations of the scheme and derive second–order error estimates.

Fractional order diffusion equations are generalizations of classical diffusion equations, treating super-diffusive flow processes. In this paper, we examine a practical numerical method which is second-order accurate in time and in space to solve a class of initial-boundary value fractional diffusive equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. An approach based on the classical Cr...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different cadences at a constant workload on muscle activity and muscle coactivation of competitive cyclists. Two cadences were tested (70 and 90 rpm) at a constant power output related to the second ventilatory threshold (325 ±35W). Activation of tibialis anterior (TA), medial head of gastrocnemius (GM), soleus (Sol), long head of biceps ...

In the current study, behavior of crank-slider mechanism with single and multiple clearance joints are analyzed. Using Lankarani-Nikravesh theory for estimating discontinuous contact forces in clearance joints, relevant systems have been mathematically modeled. Through numerical simulations, perturbations in response of mechanisms with clearance joints have been analyzed. Effects of increasing ...

in this article, we apply the multiquadric radial basis function (rbf) interpo-lation method for nding the numerical approximation of traveling wave solu-tions of the kawahara equation. the scheme is based on the crank-nicolsonformulation for space derivative. the performance of the method is shown innumerical examples.

Based on eight saul’yev asymmetry schemes and the concept of domain decomposition, a class of finite difference method (AGE) with intrinsic parallelism for 1D diffusion equations is constructed. Stability analysis for the method is done. We also pay attention to the implementation of the parallel algorithms for 2D convectiondiffusion equations. Based on another group of saul’yev asymmetry schem...

In this paper we develop two novel numerical methods for the partial integral differential equation arising from the valuation of an option whose underlying asset is governed by a jump diffusion process. These methods are based on a fitted finite volume method for the spatial discretization, an implicit-explicit time stepping scheme and the Crank-Nicolson time stepping method. We show that the ...

The numerical simulation of the dynamics of the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth is considered in this article. The governing equation is a nonlinear evolutionary equation that is of linear fourth order derivative term and nonlinear second order derivative term in space. The main purpose of this work is to construct and analyze two linearized finite difference schemes for solving the MBE mod...
