In this paper, Crank-Nicholson method for solving fractional wave equation is considered. The stability and consistency of the method are discussed by means of Greschgorin theorem and using the stability matrix analysis. Numerical solutions of some wave fractional partial differential equation models are presented. The results obtained are compared to exact solutions.

Crank-Nicolson is a popular method for solving parabolic equations because it is unconditionally stable and second order accurate. One drawback of CN is that it responds to jump discontinuities in the initial conditions with oscillations which are weakly damped and therefore may persist for a long time. We present a selection of methods to reduce the amplitude of these oscillations.

in this paper , the quintic b-spline collocation scheme is employed to approximate numerical solution of the kdv-like rosenau equation . this scheme is based on the crank-nicolson formulation for time integration and quintic b-spline functions for space integration . the unconditional stability of the present method is proved using von- neumann approach . since we do not know the exact solution...

We study accuracy of alternating direction implicit (ADI) methods for parabolic equations. The original ADI method applied to parabolic equations is a perturbation of the Crank-Nicolson di erence equation and has second-order accuracy both in space and time. The perturbation error is on the same order as the discretization error, in terms of mathematical description. However, we often observe i...

Advection equations are an essential part of many mathematical models arising in different fields of science and engineering. It is important to treat such equations with efficient numerical schemes. The well-known Crank-Nicolson scheme will be applied. It will be shown that the accuracy of the calculated results can be improved when the Crank-Nicolson scheme is combined with the Richardson Ext...

Explicit, implicit–explicit and Crank–Nicolson implicit–explicit numerical schemes for solving the generalized lubrication equation are derived. We prove that the implicit– explicit and Crank–Nicolson implicit–explicit numerical schemes are unconditionally stable. Numerical solutions obtained from both schemes are compared. Initial curves with both zero and finite contact angles are considered....

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...
