Implicit schemes have been extensively used in building physics to compute the solution of moisture diffusion problems in porous materials for improving stability conditions. Nevertheless, these schemes require important sub-iterations when treating nonlinear problems. To overcome this disadvantage, this paper explores the use of improved explicit schemes, such as Dufort–Frankel, Crank–Nicolson...

The Crank–Nicolson scheme as well as its modified schemes is widely used in numerical simulations for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In this paper, we prove the multisymplecticity and symplecticity of this scheme. Firstly, we reconstruct the scheme by the concatenating method and present the corresponding discrete multisymplectic conservation law. Based on the discrete variational principl...

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.

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.

To study the heat or diffusion equation it is often used the Crank-Nicolson method which is unconditionally stable and has order of convergence O(k + h ), where k and h are mesh con2 2 stants. Unfortunately, using this method in conventional floatingpoint arithmetic we get solutions including not only the method error, but also representation and rounding error, Therefore, we propose an interva...

The nonlocal boundary value problem for Schrödinger equation in a Hilbert space is considered. The second-order of accuracy r-modified Crank-Nicolson difference schemes for the approximate solutions of this nonlocal boundary value problem are presented. The stability of these difference schemes is established. A numerical method is proposed for solving a one-dimensional nonlocal boundary value ...

The family of the KdV equations, the most famous equations embodying both nonlinearity and dispersion, has attracted enormous attention over the years and has served as the model equation for the development of soliton theory. In this paper we present a comparative study between two different methods for solving the general KdV equation, namely the numerical Crank Nicolson method, and the semi-...
