Abstract

The Cauchy problem for a semilinear parabolic equation is considered. Under the conditions u(x, t) = X(x)T1(t) + T2(t), ∂u/∂x ≠ = 0, it is shown that the problem is equivalent to the system of two ordinary differential equations for which exact difference scheme (EDS) with special Steklov averaging and difference schemes with arbitrary order of accuracy (ADS) are constructed on the moving mesh. The special attention is paid to investigating approximation, stability and convergence of the ADS. The convergence of the iteration method is also considered. The presented numerical examples illustrate theoretical results investigated in the paper.

Summary

Introduction

In which cases an EDS or an ADS approximating nonlinear parabolic equation can be constructed? The paper deals with this question. In which cases an EDS or an ADS approximating nonlinear parabolic equation can be constructed? The problem of constructing a difference scheme of high order of accuracy is topical. Difference schemes of arbitrary order of accuracy for semilinear parabolic equations ordinary differential equations, respectively. In [10] the investigations of the order of approximation, stability, and convergence of the high accuracy difference schemes for the nonlinear transfer equation. The EDS and the difference schemes of an arbitrary order of approximation for the parabolic equations with travelling wave solutions u(x, t) = U (x − at) were constructed in [7, 8]. The main aim of this paper is to investigate approximation, stability and convergence of the nonlinear scheme of an arbitrary order of accuracy.
