Numerical exploration of a forward-backward diffusion equation

چکیده
We analyze numerically a forward-backward diffusion equation with a cubiclike diffusion function, –emerging in the framework of phase transitions modeling– and its “entropy” formulation determined by considering it as the singular limit of a third-order pseudo-parabolic equation. Precisely, we propose schemes for both the second and the third order equations, we discuss the analytical properties of their semi-discrete counterparts and we compare the numerical results in the case of initial data of Riemann type, showing strengths and flaws of the two approaches, the main emphasis being given to the propagation of transition interfaces.

A New Level Set Method for Motion in Normal Direction Based on a Semi-Implicit Forward-Backward Diffusion Approach
We introduce a new level set method for motion in normal direction. It is based on a formulation in the form of a second order forward-backward diffusion equation. The equation is discretized by the finite volume method. We propose a semi-implicit time discretization taking into account the forward diffusion part of the solution in an implicit way, while the backward diffusion part is treated e...
متن کاملMalliavin Calculus for Backward Stochastic Differential Equations and Application to Numerical Solutions
In this paper we study backward stochastic differential equations with general terminal value and general random generator. In particular, we do not require the terminal value be given by a forward diffusion equation. The randomness of the generator does not need to be from a forward equation, either. Motivated from applications to numerical simulations, first we obtain the Lp-Hölder continuity...

This paper deals with the numerical solution of a class of reaction diffusion equations arises from ecological phenomena. When two species are introduced into unoccupied habitat, they can spread across the environment as two travelling waves with the wave of the faster reproducer moving ahead of the slower.The mathematical modelling of invasions of species in more complex settings that include ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Design of Jump Coefficients in Discrete Stochastic Diffusion Models
In computational systems biology, the mesoscopic model of reaction-diffusion kinetics is described by a continuous time, discrete space Markov process. To simulate diffusion stochastically, the jump coefficients are obtained by a discretization of the diffusion equation. Using unstructured meshes to represent complicated geometries may lead to negative coefficients when using piecewise linear f...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Multidimensional Exponential Levy Equation by Block Pulse Function
The multidimensional exponential Levy equations are used to describe many stochastic phenomena such as market fluctuations. Unfortunately in practice an exact solution does not exist for these equations. This motivates us to propose a numerical solution for n-dimensional exponential Levy equations by block pulse functions. We compute the jump integral of each block pulse function and present a ...
