An unconditionally stable alternating direction implicit scheme for the two space dimensional linear hyperbolic equation

Abstract

AbstractWe report a new unconditionally stable implicit alternating direction implicit (ADI) scheme of O(k2 + h2) for the difference solution of linear hyperbolic equation utt + 2αut + β2u = uxx + uyy + f(x, y, t), αβ ≥ 0, 0 < x, y < 1, t > 0 subject to appropriate initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions, where α > 0 and β ≥ 0 are real numbers. The resulting system of algebraic equations is solved by split method. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
