I prove that a centre manifold approach to creating finite difference models will consistently model linear dynamics as the grid spacing becomes small. Using such tools of dynamical systems theory gives new assurances about the quality of finite difference models under nonlinear and other perturbations on grids with finite spacing. For example, the linear advection-diffusion equation is found t...

Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) have become an important tool in image processing and analysis. A PDE mode for image zooming is introduced in this paper. This model exploits a higher order nonlinear partial differential equation. The resulted nonlinear equation is solved by an explicit finite difference schemes. Numerical results on real digital images are given to show effectiveness and ...
