An unconditionally positive and global stability preserving NSFD scheme for an epidemic model with vaccination

Deqiong Ding, Qiang Ma, Xiaohua Ding (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this paper, a NonStandard Finite Difference (NSFD) scheme is constructed, which can be used to determine numerical solutions for an epidemic model with vaccination. Here the NSFD method is employed to derive a set of difference equations for the epidemic model with vaccination. We show that difference equations have the same dynamics as the original differential system, such as the positivity of the solutions and the stability of the equilibria, without being restricted by the time...

A stability analysis for finite volume schemes applied to the Maxwell system

Sophie Depeyre (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We present in this paper a stability study concerning finite volume schemes applied to the two-dimensional Maxwell system, using rectangular or triangular meshes. A stability condition is proved for the first-order upwind scheme on a rectangular mesh. Stability comparisons between the Yee scheme and the finite volume formulation are proposed. We also compare the stability domains obtained when considering the Maxwell system and the convection equation.

Generalized method of lines for first order partial functional differential equations

W. Czernous (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Classical solutions of initial boundary value problems are approximated by solutions of associated differential difference problems. A method of lines for an unknown function for the original problem and for its partial derivatives with respect to spatial variables is constructed. A complete convergence analysis for the method is given. A stability result is proved by using differential inequalities with nonlinear estimates of the Perron type for the given operators. ...
