On a weakly L‐stable time integration formula coupled with nonstandard finite difference scheme with application to nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations

Abstract

In the present paper, we establish an efficient numerical scheme based on weakly L‐stable time integration convergent formula and nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme. We solve Burgers' equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions as well as Neumann boundary conditions. We also solve the Fisher equation. We use Hermite approximation polynomial of order five and backward explicit Taylor's series approximation of order six to derive the numerical integration formula for the initial value problem (IVP) . We combine this method with the NSFD scheme and convert the problem into the system of algebraic equations. We discuss the convergence, truncation error, and stability of the developed method. To demonstrate the efficiency of the developed method, we compare the numerical results with some existing numerical results and exact solutions.
