A rigorous proof of an error estimate for a numerical method for two-dimensional scalar conservation laws is presented. The numerical method under consideration is based on the use of dimensional splitting and front tracking to solve the one-dimensional equations. It is shown that the error is bounded by C(((t) 1=2 + ((x) 1=2 +), where x is the space step, t is the time step, is the parameter m...

A singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation is posed in a two-dimensional L-shaped domain Ω subject to a continuous Dirchlet boundary condition. Its solutions are in the Hölder space C2/3(Ω̄) and typically exhibit boundary layers and corner singularities. The problem is discretized on a tensor-product Shishkin mesh that is further refined in a neighboorhood of the vertex of angle 3π/2. We...

Boundary integral equations (BIE) are reformulations of boundary value problems for partial differential equations. There is a plethora of research on numerical methods for all types of these equations such as solving by discretization which includes numerical integration. In this paper, the Neumann problem is reformulated to a BIE, and then moving least squares as a meshless method is describe...

Abstract. This paper deals with the formulation of a numerical scheme for solving compressible flow past moving bodies. We use the discontinuos Galerkin finite element method for the space semi-discretization and the Euler backward formula for the time discretization. Moreover, we use ALE mapping for the treatment of a time depended domain and the linearization of inviscid terms using the Vijay...

We propose and study a numerical method for time discretization of linear and semilinear integro-partial differential equations that are intermediate between diffusion and wave equations, or are subdiffusive. The method uses convolution quadrature based on the second-order backward differentiation formula. Second-order error bounds of the time discretization and regularity estimates for the sol...

The approximation of parabolic equations with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary data by a numerical method that consists of finite elements for the space discretization and the backward Euler time discretization is studied. The boundary values are assumed in a least squares sense. It is shown that this method achieves an optimal rate of convergence for rough (only L1) boundary data and for smoo...

the aim of this paper is to study the high order difference scheme for the solution of a fractional partial differential equation (pde) in the electroanalytical chemistry. the space fractional derivative is described in the riemann-liouville sense. in the proposed scheme we discretize the space derivative with a fourth-order compact scheme and use the grunwald- letnikov discretization of the ri...

In this paper, we study first and second order positive numerical methods for the advection equation. In particular, we consider the direct discretization of the model problem and comment on its superiority to the so called method of lines. Moreover, we investigate the accuracy, stability and positivity properties of the direct discretization. The numerical results related to several test probl...

The aperiodic Fourier modal method in contrast-field formulation is a numerical discretization and solution technique for solving scattering problems in electromagnetics. Typically, spectral discretization is used in the finite periodic direction and spatial discretization in the orthogonal direction. In the light of the fact that the structures of interest often have a large width-toheight rat...

The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) or local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method is a spatial discretization procedure for convection-diffusion equations, which employs useful features from high resolution finite volume schemes, such as the exact or approximate Riemann solvers serving as numerical fluxes and limiters. The LaxWendroff time discretization procedure is an alternative method for time d...
