Several numerical schemes utilizing central difference approximations have been developed to solve the Goursat problem. However, in a recent years compact discretization methods which leads to high-order finite difference schemes have been used since it is capable of achieving better accuracy as well as preserving certain features of the equation e.g. linearity. The basic idea of the new scheme...

Using classic differential quadrature formulae and uniform grids, this paper systematically constructs a variety of high-order finite difference schemes, and some of these schemes are consistent with the so-called boundary value methods. The derived difference schemes enjoy the same stability and accuracy properties with correspondent differential quadrature methods but have a simpler form of c...

A class of higher-order compact upwind biased finite difference (FD) schemes based on the Taylor Series Expansion is developed in this work. The numerical accuracy of this family of compact upwind biased FD schemes is demonstrated by means of Fourier analysis wherein it is shown that these FD schemes have very low dispersion errors over a relatively large bandwidth of wave numbers as compared t...

A finite compact (FC) difference scheme requiring only bi-diagonal matrix inversion is proposed by using the known high-resolution flux. Introducing TVD or ENO limiters in the numerical flux, several high-resolution FC-schemes of hyperbolic conservation law are developed, including the FC-TVD, third-order FC-ENO and fifth-order FC-ENO schemes. Boundary conditions formulated need only one unknow...

nonstandard finite difference schemes for the black-scholes partial differential equation preserving the positivity property are proposed. computationally simple schemes are derived by using a nonlocal approximation in the reaction term of the black-scholes equation. unlike the standard methods, the solutions of new proposed schemes are positive and free of the spurious oscillations.
