in this paper we investigate a nonlinear evolution model described by the rosenau-kdv equation. we propose a three-level average implicit finite difference scheme for its numerical solutions and prove that this scheme is stable and convergent in the order of o(τ2 + h2). furthermore we show the existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions. comparing the numerical results with other methods in...

a nonstandard finite difference (nsfd) scheme has been constructed and analyzed for a mathematical model that describes lotka–volterra food web model. this new discrete system has the same stability properties as the continuous model and,on the whole, it preservesthe same local asymptotic stability properties. linearized stability theory and schur–cohn criteria are used for local asymptoticstab...

In this paper, we derive a discretized multi-group epidemic model with time delay by using a nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme. A crucial observation regarding the advantage of the NSFD scheme is that the positivity and boundedness of solutions of the continuous model are preserved. Furthermore, we show that the discrete model has the same equilibria, and the conditions for their stab...

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.

We develop a new efficient second-order finite difference scheme for two-dimensional problem of contaminant in groundwater flow. Theoretical analysis shows that the scheme is second-order convergence in the L2 norm and is unconditionally stable. Numerical results demonstrate that the error measures of the second-order scheme are several times smaller than those of the standard implicit finite d...

We establish the global existence of L∞ solutions for a model of polytropic gas flow with diffusive entropy. The result is obtained by showing the convergence of a class of finite difference schemes, which includes the Lax– Friedrichs and Godunov schemes. Such convergence is achieved by proving the estimates required for the application of the compensated compactness theory.

We consider a finite difference scheme, called Quickest, introduced by Leonard in 1979, for the convection-diffusion equation. Quickest uses an explicit, Leith-type differencing and third-order upwinding on the convective derivatives yielding a four-point scheme. For that reason the method requires careful treatment on the inflow boundary considering the fact that we need to introduce numerical...

The finite difference methods of Godunov, Hyman, Lax and Wendroff (two-step), MacCormack, Rusanov, the upwind scheme, the hybrid scheme of Harten and Zwas, the antidiffusion method of Boris and Book, the artificial compression method of Harten, and Glimm’s method, a random choice method, are discussed. The methods are used to integrate the one-dimensional Eulerian form of the equations of gas d...

in this paper, a high-order and conditionally stable stochastic difference scheme is proposed for the numerical solution of $rm ithat{o}$ stochastic advection diffusion equation with one dimensional white noise process. we applied a finite difference approximation of fourth-order for discretizing space spatial derivative of this equation. the main properties of deterministic difference schemes,...
