Abstract We are interested in the large-time behaviour of solutions to finite volume discretizations of convection–diffusion equations or systems endowed with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet- and Neumann-type boundary conditions. Our results concern various linear and nonlinear models such as Fokker–Planck equations, porous media equations or drift–diffusion systems for semiconductors. For all of these models, some relative entropy principle is satisfied and implies exponential decay to the stationary state. In this paper we show that in the framework of finite volume schemes on orthogonal meshes, a large class of two-point monotone fluxes preserves this exponential decay of the discrete solution to the discrete steady state of the scheme. This includes for instance upwind and centred convections or Scharfetter–Gummel discretizations. We illustrate our theoretical results on several numerical test cases.

We prove that a class of weighted semilinear reaction diffusion equations on RN generates gradient-like semiflows on the Banach space of bounded uniformly continuous functions on RN. If N = 1 we show convergence to a single equilibrium. The key for getting the result is to show the exponential decay of the stationary solutions, which is obtained by means of a decay estimate of the kernel of the underlying semigroup.

A mathematical model of amperometric biosensors has been developed. The model bases on non-stationary diffusion equations containing a non-linear term related to Michaelis-Menten kinetic of the enzymatic reaction. The model describes the biosensor response to mixtures of multiple compounds in two regimes of analysis: batch and flow injection. Using computer simulation, large amount of biosensor response data were synthesised for calibration of a biosensor array to be used for characterization of wastewater. The computer simulation was carried out using the finite difference technique.
