A Convergent Finite Difference Method for a Nonlinear Variational Wave Equation
We establish rigorously convergence of a semi-discrete upwind scheme for the nonlinear variational wave equation utt − c(u)(c(u)ux)x = 0 with u|t=0 = u0 and ut|t=0 = v0. Introducing Riemann invariants R = ut + cux and S = ut − cux, the variational wave equation is equivalent to Rt − cRx = c̃(R2 − S2) and St + cSx = −c̃(R2 − S2) with c̃ = c′/(4c). An upwind scheme is defined for this system. We ass...
متن کاملAnEnergyConserving Local DiscontinuousGalerkin Method for a Nonlinear Variational Wave Equation
We design and numerically validate a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method to compute solutions to the initial value problem for a nonlinear variational wave equation originally proposed tomodel liquid crystals. For the semi-discrete LDG formulation with a class of alternating numerical fluxes, the energy conserving property is verified. A dissipative scheme is also introduced by locally im...
متن کاملA New Conservative Finite Difference Method for the Nonlinear Regularized Long Wave Equation
In this paper, a finite difference method for initial-boundary value problem of nonlinear Regularized-Long-Wave equation was considered. A energy conservative finite difference scheme of three levels was proposed, convergence and stability of difference solution was proved, if picking suitably,the accuracy of the new scheme is higher than others, so the method is efficient and reliable.
متن کاملA Closed-Form Solution for Two-Dimensional Diffusion Equation Using Crank-Nicolson Finite Difference Method
In this paper a finite difference method for solving 2-dimensional diffusion equation is presented. The method employs Crank-Nicolson scheme to improve finite difference formulation and its convergence and stability. The obtained solution will be a recursive formula in each step of which a system of linear equations should be solved. Given the specific form of obtained matrices, rather than sol...
متن کاملA New Implicit Finite Difference Method for Solving Time Fractional Diffusion Equation
In this paper, a time fractional diffusion equation on a finite domain is con- sidered. The time fractional diffusion equation is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order 0 < a< 1 (in the Riemann-Liovill or Caputo sence). In equation that we consider the time fractional derivative is in...
