An explicit modified method of characteristics for the one-dimensional nonstationary convection-diffusion problem with dominating convection
We describe a numerical method for the equation in with Dirichlet boundary and initial conditions which is a combination of the method of characteristics and the finite-difference method. We prove both an a priori local error-estimate of a high order and stability. Example 3.3 indicates that our approximate solutions are disturbed only by a minimal amount of the artificial diffusion.
