and Applied Analysis 3 As in the classical Crank-Nicholson difference scheme, we will obtain a discrete approximation to the fractional derivative ∂U t, x /∂t at tn 1/2 , xi . Let H t, x 1 Γ 1 − α ∫ t 0 u s, x − u 0, x t − s α ds. 2.1

Boundary value methods are applied to find transient solutions of M/M/2 queueing systems with two heterogeneous servers under a variant vacation policy. An iterative method is employed to solve the resulting large linear system and a Crank-Nicolson preconditioner is used to accelerate the convergence. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

It is shown that A-acceptable and, more generally, A()-acceptablerational approximations of bounded analytic semigroups in Banach space are stable. The result applies, in particular, to the Crank-Nicolson method.

We give a highly efficient, accurate and unconditionally stable algorithm to solve the partial differential equation for simulating the action potential propagation through cardiac tissue. In the new algorithm, we discretize the space domain by combining a compact finite difference scheme with an alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme, which has fourth-order accuracy for interior mesh poin...

Abstract. The problem of non-local nonlinear non-Fickian polymer diffusion as modelled by a diffusion equation with a nonlinearly coupled boundary value problem for a viscoelastic ‘pseudostress’ is considered (see, for example, DA Edwards in Z. angew. Math. Phys., 52, 2001, pp. 254—288). We present two numerical schemes using the implicit Euler method and also the Crank-Nicolson method. Each sc...

Burgers equation is a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equation that represents the non-linear features of it. In this paper, the transient two-dimensional non-linear Burgers equation is solved using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The results are compared with the Modified Local Crank-Nicolson method (MLCN) and exact solutions. The LBM has been emerged as a new numerical method for sol...

The Burgers equation is a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equations that very well represents their non-linear features. In this paper, numerical methods of the Adomian decomposition and the Modified Crank Nicholson, used for solving the one-dimensional Burgers equation, have been compared. These numerical methods have also been compared with the analytical method. In contrast to the conve...
