In the present paper a general technique is developed for construction of compact high-order finite difference schemes to approximate Schrödinger problems on nonuniform meshes. Conservation of the finite difference schemes is investigated. The same technique is applied to construct compact high-order approximations of the Robin and Szeftel type boundary conditions. Results of computational expe...

We present two fourth-order compact finite difference (CFD) discretizations of the velocity-pressure formulation of the acoustic wave equation in 2-D rectangular grids. The first method uses standard implicit CFD on nodal meshes and requires solving tridiagonal linear systems along each grid line, while the second scheme employs a novel set of mimetic CFD operators for explicit differentiation ...

This paper reviews and extends the theory and application of mimetic finite difference methods for the solution of diffusion problems in strongly heterogeneous anisotropic materials. These difference operators satisfy the fundamental identities, conservation laws and theorems of vector and tensor calculus on nonorthogonal, nonsmooth, structured and unstructured computational grids. We provide e...

In this paper, thirdand fourth-order compact finite difference schemes are proposed for solving Helmholtz equations with discontinuous media along straight interfaces in two space dimensions. To keep the compactness of the finite difference schemes and get global high order schemes, even at the interface where the wave number is discontinuous, the idea of the immersed interface method is employ...

We introduce the use of mimetic methods to the imaging community, for the solution of the initial-value problems ubiquitous in the machine vision and image processing and analysis fields. PDE-based image processing and analysis techniques comprise a host of applications such as noise removal and restoration, deblurring and enhancement, segmentation, edge detection, inpainting, registration, mot...

We develop a local flux mimetic finite difference method for second order elliptic equations with full tensor coefficients on polyhedral meshes. To approximate the velocity (vector variable), the method uses two degrees of freedom per element edge in two dimensions and n degrees of freedom per n-gonal mesh face in three dimensions. To approximate the pressure (scalar variable), the method uses ...

This paper will address the problem of time marching function approximated solutions inherent in emerging meshfree Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution techniques. The numerical solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) of CFD has been dominated by either finite difference methods (FDM), finite element methods (FEM), and finite volume methods (FVM). These methods can be derived ...

is obtained where A (u) is the Jacobian matrix of the components of / with respect to the components of u. Equation (1.2) is said to be hyperbolic if the eigenvalues of the matrix pi + 6A are real for all real numbers m, 0. Several authors have proposed finite-difference schemes for the numerical integration of (1.1) (or (1.2)). In [6], Lax and Wendroff introduced an explicit scheme which is st...

In this review paper, the finite difference methods (FDMs) for the fractional differential equations are displayed. The considered equations mainly include the fractional kinetic equations of diffusion or dispersion with time, space and time-space derivatives. In some way, these numerical methods have similar form as the case for classical equations, some of which can be seen as the generalizat...
