Abstract Abstract — We have studied the stability of finite-difference schemes approximating initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for multidimensional parabolic equations with a nonlinear source of a power type. We have obtained simple sufficient input data conditions, in which the solutions of differential and difference problems are globally bounded for all t. It is shown that if these conditions are not satisfied, then the solution can blow-up (go to infinity) in finite time. The lower bound of the blow-up time has been determined. The stability of the difference solution has been proven. In all cases, we used the method of energy inequalities based on the application of the Chaplygin comparison theorem for nonlinear ODEs, Bihari-type inequalities and their discrete analogs.

We consider various finite difference schemes for the first and the second initial‐boundary value problems for linear Kuramoto‐Tsuzuki, heat and Schrödinger equations in d‐dimensional case. Using spectral methods, we find the conditions of stability on initial data in the L2 norm.

Abstract. An initial-boundary value problem for the 1D self-adjoint parabolic equation on the half-axis is solved. We study a broad family of two-level finite-difference schemes with two parameters related to averages both in time and space. Stability in two norms is proved by the energy method. Also discrete transparent boundary conditions are rigorously derived for schemes by applying the method of reproducing functions. Results of numerical experiments are included as well.

Initial Boundary Value

Finite difference and homotopy analysis methods are used for the approximate solution of the initial-boundary value problem for the delay parabolic partial differential equation with the Dirichlet condition. The convergence estimates for the solution of first and second orders of difference schemes in Hölder norms are obtained. A procedure of modified Gauss elimination method is used for the solution of these difference schemes. Homotopy analysis method is applied. Comparison of finite difference and homotopy analysis methods is given on the problem.

Abstract A time-fractional initial-boundary value problem of wave type is considered, where the spatial domain is ( 0 , 1 ) d (0,1)^{d} for some d ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } d\in\{1,2,3\} . Regularity of the solution 𝑢 is discussed in detail. Typical solutions have a weak singularity at the initial time t = 0 t=0 : while 𝑢 and u t u_{t} are continuous at t = 0 t=0 , the second-order derivative u t ⁢ t u_{tt} blows up at t = 0 t=0 . To solve the problem numerically, a finite difference scheme is used on a mesh that is graded in time and uniform in space with the same mesh size ℎ in each coordinate direction. This scheme is generated through order reduction: one rewrites the differential equation as a system of two equations using the new variable v := u t v:=u_{t} ; then one uses a modified L1 scheme of Crank–Nicolson type for the driving equation. A fast variant of this finite difference scheme is also considered, using a sum-of-exponentials (SOE) approximation for the kernel function in the Caputo derivative. The stability and convergence of both difference schemes are analysed in detail. At each time level, the system of linear equations generated by the difference schemes is solved by a fast Poisson solver, thereby taking advantage of the fast difference scheme. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of both numerical methods.
