Local solution of parabolic equations with strongly increasing nonlinearity by the Rothe method
In this paper, we study the numerical approximation of a size-structured population model whose dependency on the environment is managed by the evolution of a vital resource. We show that this is a difficult task: some numerical methods are not suitable for a long-time integration. We analyze the reasons for the failure.
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65M06, 65M12.In this paper we explore the numerical diffusion introduced by two nonstandard finite difference schemes applied to the Black-Scholes partial differential equation for pricing discontinuous payoff and low volatility options. Discontinuities in the initial conditions require applying nonstandard non-oscillating finite difference schemes such as the exponentially fitted finite difference schemes suggested by D. Duffy and the Crank-Nicolson variant...
In this note, we give an overview of the authors’ paper [6] which deals with asymptotic consistency of a class of linearly implicit schemes for the compressible Euler equations. This class is based on a linearization of the nonlinear fluxes at a reference state and includes the scheme of Feistauer and Kučera [3] as well as the class of RS-IMEX schemes [8,5,1] as special cases. We prove that the linearization gives an asymptotically consistent solution in the low-Mach limit under the assumption of...
