In this paper we study finite difference procedures for a class of parabolic equations with non-local boundary condition. The semi-implicit and fully implicit backward Euler schemes are studied. It is proved that both schemes preserve the maximum principle and monotonicity of the solution of the original equation, and fully-implicit scheme also possesses strict monotonicity. It is also proved that finite difference solutions approach to zero ast→∞exponentially. The numerical results of some examples are presented, which support our theoretical justifications.

Abstract In this paper, accelerated fitted finite difference method for solving singularly perturbed delay differential equation with non-local boundary condition is considered. To treat the non-local boundary condition, Simpson’s rule is applied. The stability and parameter uniform convergence for the proposed method are proved. To validate the applicability of the scheme, two model problems are considered for numerical experimentation and solved for different values of the perturbation parameter ε and mesh size h. The numerical results are tabulated in terms of maximum absolute errors and rate of convergence, and it is observed that the present method is more accurate and ε-uniformly convergent for h ≥ ε where the classical numerical methods fails to give good result, and it also improves the results of the methods existing in the literature.

The motive of this paper is, to develop accurate and parameter uniform numerical method for solving singularly perturbed delay parabolic differential equation with non-local boundary condition exhibiting parabolic boundary layers. Also, the delay term that occurs in the space variable gives rise to interior layer. Fitted operator finite difference method on uniform mesh that uses the procedures of method of line for spatial discretization and backward Euler method for the resulting system of initial value problems in temporal direction is considered. To treat the non-local boundary condition, Simpsons rule is applied. The stability and parameter uniform convergence for the proposed method are proved. To validate the applicability of the scheme, numerical examples are presented and solved for different values of the perturbation parameter. The method is shown to be accurate of O(h2 + △t) . Finally, conclusion of the work is included at the end.
