In this note a class of second-order parabolic equations with variable coefficients, depending on coordinate, is considered in bounded and unbounded domains. Solutions of the Cauchy–Dirichlet and the Cauchy problems are represented in the form of a limit of finite-dimensional integrals of elementary functions (such representations are called Feynman formulas). Finite-dimensional integrals in the Feynman formulas give approximations for functional integrals in the corresponding Feynman–Kac formulas, representing solutions of these problems. Hence, these Feynman formulas give an effective tool to calculate functional integrals with respect to probability measures generated by diffusion processes with a variable diffusion coefficient and absorption on the boundary.

AbstractDomain decomposition methods are used for the approximate solution of boundary-value problems for partial differential equations on parallel computing systems. Specific features of unsteady problems are fully taken into account in iteration-free domain decomposition schemes. Regionally-additive schemes are based on various classes of splitting schemes. In this paper we highlight a class of domain decomposition schemes which are based on the partition of the initial domain into subdomains with common boundary nodes. Using a partition of unity we construct and analyze unconditionally stable schemes for domain decomposition based on a two-component splitting: the problem within each subdomain and the problem at their boundaries. As an example we consider a Cauchy problem of first or second order in time with a non-negative self-adjoint second order operator in space. The theoretical discussion is supplemented with the numerical solution of a model problem for a two-dimensional parabolic equation.

In this paper, we propose a verification method for the convergence rates of the numerical solutions for parabolic equations. Specifically, we consider the numerical convergence rates of the heat equation, the Allen–Cahn equation, and the Cahn–Hilliard equation. Convergence test results show that if we refine the spatial and temporal steps at the same time, then we have the second-order convergence rate for the second-order scheme. However, in the case of the first-order in time and the second-order in space scheme, we may have the first-order or the second-order convergence rates depending on starting spatial and temporal step sizes. Therefore, for a rigorous numerical convergence test, we need to perform the spatial and the temporal convergence tests separately.
